Seems to be a lot of ex-pat pilots from USAir, SWA, Delta, United, happy with COPA. Could be the latin culture, the nice beaches and warm weather?
Everybody has to take his/her personal situation and see if they can manage. The last few classes have been some RJ drivers with ZERO Boeing time, they might be looking for the Type and the chance to get some Left Seat Boeing time? Who knows what motivates these people?
I also heard that they have a TON of applicants from CHINA, INDIA, and the Sandpit looking to get a slot in COPA--so there must be more to the story?
NO MAJOR is hiring right now in the USA.
Seems to me that a few of the "nay sayers" on this board might have some spilt milk syndrome as they were turned down by COPA.
