I suggest monitoring the tone of the pilot "union" regarding foreigners... As we don't matter except for data to achieve their purposes...
That rumor about Copa hiring 500 HR FAA pilots also pissed off union members given the recent failed negotiations with the company.
Not all is shiny and glossy like the 737

What is the average pay for an FO flying regional? Do you know anything about regionals or majors offering Sponsorship Programs for qualified FOs?
