Copa time to command
Time spent on the right seat before being upgraded to captain depends. In the case of Panamanians that are hired with 250 hours straight out of flight school the time to command is 5 years.
You would have to ask them directly how they would account for SIC time or right seat jet time earned at another airline.
I've heard... and once again "I've heard"... that minimum hours to be eligible for upgrade is 4000 hours riding their jets.

COPA hiring minimums
The COPA hiring minimums are real. The hiring boom started back in 2006. I personally have many friends (both Panamanian and foreign nationals) that were hired with the minimum hours and the minimum age. Most Started flying for COPA at age 21, at age 26 got upgraded to Captain.

just apply, there are many Americans flying. I would say that biggest drawback with Americans and Europeans is they will probably leave the company for going back flying home. The less opportunities you got at your home base, the more interested COPA will be on you.
I went to panama a month ago, still waiting for an answer from HR. I know that Panamanians and a foreign guy who was type rated on 737 got hired; two other foreigners got rejected.
Do anyone know if that's a standard procedure? Starting with locals and type rated people? Makes sense but wondering why the would take so long to answer me back.

What about HR Response time since interviews? It's been more than a month since I got my screening and haven't heard from them yet.
Some of my friends had news back 15 days after process was finished, some of them took 2 months.
Any clue? It's kinda weird.

Hello. VERY frustrated with the website. First I register with Chrome, just to realize I should have done with Explorer. Then I do the WHOLE thing again, only to reach the end and find out that it was not processed because the login is already in use (no kidding !). So, could someone PM me the Chief Pilot's e-mail so I can forward all my documents. Unfortunately HR has been less than helpful through e-mails.
