Looks like COPA recently reduced its PIC requirements from 1500 in Transport Category jets to 1000 hours for Captain applicants. Anybody want to wager when/if it will drop to 500 PIC?

Hm.. Can somebody please help me out here. I just got an email from Copa airlines. And as far as I understand I have been selected for an assessment. The email consist of 2 forwarded messages. I tried to translate with google but that did not get me far. Are there any spanish speaking people how might help me shed some light over this email?
Also, I applied as FO. And no, I don't speak any spanish at all. (I'm a swede) So maybe its not even worth for me going to the assessment..Is it all in spanish?
Out take from the mail:

My experience: None!.. Out of flight school. Although I am newly rated on the 737 Classic!
I wonder if they might have missed that out? To tell you the truth I am a little suprised that they called me. I will have to decide if I will go over there or not..
Thanks!

hearing nothing
it is standard ops to hear nothing from Copa, they are up to their A*ses in alligators, so they only reply to serious emergencies in a timely manner, get used to it if you plan to pursue the job. They are very nice, very polite and very uncommunicative.

Copa Airlines B737 FO Info.
Greetings to you all!
I'm searching for information on First Officer position for the B737 with COPA.
I have FAA ATPL with 3200TT, 747 Turbine PIC and 2300 Turbine SIC. I'm currently typed and qualified on B737.
Any ideas on how to apply, get an interview, payscale etc.

Just want anyone thinking of interviewing there to go with their eyes wide open.
And yet they want to hire experienced 737 captains, who could make at least three times as much in China.
Thank you.
Anyone that is authorized to work in the US and currently meets COPA
DEC requirements, could apply to any Major / National carrier.
All these US based companies are by far more desirable for someone that lives in the US.
I respect pilots specific circumstances.
However, I cannot help to be curious as to why anyone would venture to COPA?
My question is by no means condescending to Panama or COPA.
Just interested in why an experienced pilot, with 1000 Jet PIC would move to Panama City,
to fly for COPA for a minimum of three years? ($18K training bond)
Maybe I am missing something.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

I have no opinion...
It is an honest inquiry not meaning to offend.
