Yup!Agree with you! But that's the way they take applications. Seems like no emails, only via 'nuestrohub'.
The only thing in 'operaciones' is Flight Attendant so far, and I think another one, but no pilot position yet.
The filling out was indeed a little bit annoying, but finally it's done!

Actually, did you send it via email as well, or do you mean via nuestrohub?

Eventually both, just make sure that when you send it to the email address your email isn't too large or it will get kicked back.

Thanks for that, didn't know that. That's why it never worked
What is the direct email address again?

(And I thought they just don't like my email account and got it as spam or similar, hahahaha!)

Update on Copa?

Any update on Copa hiring these days? News?
Do they set group dates?
Is there any way to have contact with HR?

Wannbes that want to work cheap.

You must not be qualified for the job at COPA, If you were qualified you wouldn't want to work for these low wages. What they are offering is 1/2 the industry standard at the moment.

Yes Boomerang it may seem low but it also seems high compared to other jobs as well. Not every single job in aviation is high paying, if anyone one is on these super wages on here, please PM me as like to come and work with you. Oh wait hang on why would you be on this thread if you weren't interested in working for Copa.

This is not an attack Boomerang, I'm just a little fed up with pilots moaning about their job or wages. I was laid off this time last year and I haven't even got a sniff of any other work, not even a reply let alone an interview so if Copa does throw me a bone I will take it.

Peace out!

Qualified B737 employment

If you are a qualified and reasonably current B737 PIC then there are many jobs available that pay more than double COPA's offer. Check out Jet Airways in India. If you not current then try Spice Jet in India. If you want even more money then take a look at all the offers in China. Want a better commuting schedule then look at KAL. Turkish Airlines & FlyDubai are also hiring.

If you are not qualified then take the COPA job if they will hire you.

Agree and also people should compare cost of living in other countries, the salary in copa looks a bit lower, but with the cost of living low in Panama it will give you a decent life....

I saw that, that's an awful lot of Captains but they appear to be willing to train NTR pilots. Big expansion? Turnover? What?

Thumbs down

Dear Paokara,please do not lie and stop misinforming,you wil only cash 3600usd based on 63hrs,10k more pear year only on your dreams, you only get the 13 salary base on a 3000usd - taxes =2200usd the only other xtra is the yearly bonus which varies and it could be max of 7 weeks and again based on 3000usd - taxes so max you might get is 3850usd but remember is based on your performance meaning give up your days off agree to everything and can not call in sick otherwise they will deduct weeks from your bonus, housing is 530usd after taxes and is only for two years keep in mind that the cheapest rent is between 1300usd and 1100usd ( decent place),the one month paid vacation per year does not exist you dont get paid while on vacation that is why everybody stays away from vacations but money is not the worse the way that the local co-workers treat the expats is beyond bad. So my only advise is if you need a free type and you are willing to put up with the low, low salaries and the abuse come on in you will see that those are true facts. Dear Paokara I am pretty sure you are from management and need to find people to fill those seats but please tell the true, people will find out the true rather soon and they are going to leave anyway. Nothing personel only facts 73 and safe landings

Oh well, I just post what I get.


Just some quick math: 63 hrs pays 5500 per month, if you take home 3600 that is almost 38 percent tax........not in panama my friend
