Copa - American Flyers

Does Copa Hire FO's from the US, with a Commercial certificate ? Do you need to be typed on the 737 ?

Thanks

1. Yes, they do

Do you need to be typed on the 737 ?

2. NO, you don’t

I see on Copa's website that they want 200 hours of flight time ? Is that really their minimum time requirement ??

What would be competitive flight times to get an interview ? Total/multi etc.. Any other info about Copa would be appreciated.

Muchas Gracias

200 hours only for local guys, for exp. you need somethings around 1000 hours and preferible somethings more serious than C152 / 172

Immigrant - do you think that a British national with an FAA CPL/Multi/Instrument and c300 hours would have a shot at an interview?

Thanks very much in advance,

You always can try.
Nationality doesn't matter, what really matter is Spanish. Most of the guys are from latin area and as I mantioned before, around 1000 hours or more. Mayority of them are jet guys, but we also have some turbo prop people (the smallest that I heard is King Air), but any way you can try, you never know. Untill end of this year we will receive 4 E190 and 1 NG more. You can try the program of American Flyers if you can effort $40K.

Good luck

Immigrant,
so you are saying that CM is expecting 5 more aircraft this year. Are there any possibilities that CM delays or cancels any of the aircraft deliveries like other airlines are doing?
By the way, you are currently working for CM right?

Cheers!!!!

==================
1.Not until now, but who knows.
2. Yes

So you need to speak spanish very fluently I am assuming...

I speak a fair amount, although I would not consider myself fluent, I need a little more help from the wife.

Is there any kind of discrimination (don't mean in a nasty way) toward gringos who try to get on at Copa, even if they speak fluent spanish ?

Are Fo's typed on the aircraft ? where is the training done, in Panama or in the US ?

What is the pay like ?

Thanks

Can anyone help?? Please.

Thanks in advance

got the scoop?

Hey if you don't mind sending me the process of getting on with Copa I'd really appreciate it. I'm thinking of bailing out of the US aviation industry. Thanks a million

COPA and LAN Peru in Miami on July 19th.

Hello all:

You guys probably already know about AEROSERVICE in Miami, Florida; They host a job fair I think every 4 months, if you go to the website you'll see that they're hosting a job fair on July 19th.

Here's the website Welcome to Aeroservice Aviation Training Center I'm looking at attending, so far my schedule is cooperating and looks like I'll make it.

If there's any one of you guys whom might not be able to go due to your location or bad scheduling... I would gladly take your resume to them, all you have to do is email it to me, I will print it out and make sure it gets to the right person.

We all need to do good deeds for each other, considering the current job situation worldwide it is the right thing to do, after all... We are all in this together.

PM me if I can be of any help, best wishes to everyone.

The $40,000 training requires to get JAA licences!!!! I can't believe it! Panama with JAA???? where the hell is that coming from! European licences in central america. And off course the programm is called AMERICAN flyers! nice job copa.

Estar en posesión de licencia JAA CPL con teórico de ATPL y habilitación IR.
Un mínimo de 300 horas de vuelo de las cuales 100 deberán de ser como piloto al mando.
Haber superado satisfactoriamente el curso MCC.
Estár en posesión del certificado médico JAR-FCL 3 Clase 1.
Perfecto dominio del idioma Español.
Se valorará experiencia previa como instructor y/o en avión turbo hélice.

A guy who has JAA licence won't go to COPA and pay this price to get a job when he can get a training for free in europe with BA or Air france and make 5000€ as an FO !

WAke up COPA!

Copa is very awake my friend

Copa has already more than 20 copilots with JAA, and all of them paid the US$40.000, and the best is that the line is getting longer to do the same so hurry up and get a number.
