PANAMA CITY, Panama--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2005--Copa Airlines has been selected for the second consecutive year as the best airline in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean in a survey conducted by SkyTrax, a British marketing research company.

"We are very pleased that we have earned this important recognition for the second consecutive year," said Jorge Garcia Icaza, Commercial Vice President of Copa Airlines.

Good point. Salary levels (at least for flight crews) are shockingly low at COPA Airlines. Threat of Low-Cost in CA? How much lower could an LCC go?

FEDENO,
I donīt know what the exact consistent policy is, as I have heard rumors of exceptions, however, lacking knowing these people directly I would give the rumor the same weight I give other rumors.
Yes, you must speak Spanish.
Furthermore, and based on what I have been told to me by COPA and from those who I know and who have interviewed or spoken to COPA, you must be either a Panamanian citizen, or have some sort of very strong legal ties to Panama (like being married to a Panamanian, with your Panamanian residency, and probably with goals of Panamanian citizenship). One exception to all of this seems to be for contract Captains (if you have plenty of command 737NG experience, give 'em a call).
