Captain Pay - Current low ball offer
This is what Copa is offering as of March for the 1st class. Forget about commuting as they will not give you a block of time off. Also forget about getting any advance notice to attend screening. I received the email to attend screening the night before the flight departs from LAX.
Better yet just forget about COPA.
Copa´s Offer: Pay and Benefits
A. Pay: Captain
Base Salary - $3,000.00 per Month. This amount is taxable according to Panamanian fiscal law.
Gastos de Representacion - $760.00 This amount is taxable according to Panamanian fiscal law.
Per Diem –63 hours -$882.00
Productivity - $200.00
Additional hours above 63, will be paid at a rate of $64.00.
*An additional $ 640 per month is paid at the completion of training (IOE).

How much was your other 2 weeks of pay?
Add both net paychecks and tell us how much you get net for 63 hrs.
Then add your housing, i month extra pay, 3 bonus checks per year and tell us how much net you make as a first officer per year
btw the 2300 fo pay i was referring was net per month without bonus or housing or extra month per year pay

28 No shows at CMP
The pay rate is very low for Fo and Capt either ,they were expecting 30 Capts 3 weeks ago and the surprise was that only 2 arrived to PTY ...why ? the answer is simple ,are better options in the market ! Inside copa the local pilots are attending interviews because the pay is not atractive ,maybe for a new pilot who wants to raise his hours and get a jet type but thats all ...experienced pilots are well paid in others parts of the globe ,but if your goal is not to leave america that is the chance ...but ALL the post I had read about copa payment roster etc are ABSOLUTELLY TRUE !

This is good!
The market will force COPA to pay prevailing wages. We are living in a World economy and if they want to attract qualified pilots that will stay for a reasonable time the wages will have to rise. A very good thing for pilots that want to work on the American continent.

Schickfuss, thanks for the info on the Copa interview. I am going 4 days from now to interview for DEC there. I am a USA citizen. Would you please elaborate on the Psychotechnical test as much as possible. Do you know where I might find an example online? Also, do you remember a few of the "50 questions"? Were they stuff like ICAO holding speed limits or duty time regs or what? Thank you SO much for ANY further info about this deal.

good luck...just be yourself.
ATP questions......MMPI test, sympols and shapes and drawings and a sim ride very standard, and an interview with an hr person and a captain.......3 day deal, not hard...
Not as bad place as all think...pay it is what it is you know it before you come to interview....good people and great experience for your future job

Can someone pm or send me a contact number or email where can follow up my information that I sent. I am a five year jet captain at a us regional and have been trying to apply there for over a month. Either im not competitive or dont understand why I haven't heard anything back other than the standard computer generated message. Any help would be greatly appreciated

In that case better to start offering similar T&Cs as middle east carriers, since mins would be almost the same.

New Copa Class
Hi, Everybody;
Just found out today, I got the job.
I have been accepted for employment at Copa and will start class very soon. Are there any pilots reading this post that are currently flying the NG for Copa?
I would just like to show up for class well prepared. I have NG systems study materials already. What I need to help me are Copa NG specific items like:
Normal Checklists
Memory Items (boxed items from QRH checklists)
Limitations
Standard Call-outs
I know myself, and memorizing all this stuff is where I need some help by starting BEFORE I get into Ground School and Sim.
When I get to PTY, there is a free dinner in this for anyone who can help.
