Hey jeff_coe4 I am trying to reply to you but google keeps telling me that it can't deliver to your email.
If you have another email pm me or post your questions here.

Interview
 

Just curious if anyone knows how long after your initial interview do you have to wait to hear anything back?

I just interviewed for FO position last week. If you were in the interviewing group please send me a PM

Thanks

You'll have to wait between 1 and 3 weeks. We got the reply in 7 or 8 days !

I had a contact with one recruiter last year, a few weeks ago I sent her all the required documents with no answer, I believe she is not there anymore. If anyone could PM me another recruiter's email I'll appreciate it. I am flying B767, but it's not easy to get in touch with COPA.

I've been type rated
 

Just got the "Copilot - 737" rating added to my license. Now straight to IOE!

Congrats Factor-X
 

Good job on your hard work Factor-X. I just finished my AAC psychological test yesterday. Everything with Copa has excited my expectations, so far. I normally have to wait 7-9 days for a reply for the next step in the process. The HR employees are helpful and willing to give you advice. All of the pilots and employees that I have met are very nice and friendly. The website to apply is difficult but just make sure you do everything correct. They will contact you if they want to.

Cheers-Good luck to everyone.

ATP
 

Will it behoove a Copa Airline pilot applicant doing his FAA ATP before applying?

FAA
 

Yes, you wanna get that. You still have to convert that here. But the Panama ATP exam is a copy of the FAA ATP. You get paid more if you have the ATPL

Thanks for replying factor-x, does the conversion process involve retaking the written and the practical test? Will it be more convenient to just take the Panamanian ATP instead?

Panama ATPL conversion
 

My brother,


Yes, you are correct. It involves retaking an exact copy of the FAA ATPL written test down here. And you have to fly 3-4 hours in a Cessna 172.


The decision is really up to you as to how you will approach this. What I would do is get my ATPL up there, and then just convert down here.

factor-x, check your PM!

All right. Thanks. Is it a process you do on your own or does Copa assist you in setting up/paying for the exam?
By the way, Congrats on the type rating! Does the entire process from interviewing to flying the line really takes 8 months as another member stated?

It does take 8 months right now because of a lack of instructors. Add that to the fact that you'll change instructors all during IOE. A friend of mine had 9 during his training from start to finish.

Thanks. Where does the certificate conversion take place in the hiring process. I am a CFI, so during those 9 months would it be possible to Flight Instruct? In that 9-month process, I am assuming there are days and possibly weeks when you are doing nothing.

Hi all, I just applied last week thru the web, I'm applying for F/O, 4200 TT, A320 and E190 f/o time. Has anybody heard anything lately?

Hi everybody!

I finally finished those 17 long pages :bored: and I still have a few questions... :E Sooorry ;)

I am currently flying in europe as FO on small jets. I've been doing that for 7 years now but there is no possible evolution here, or maybe in 10 years. I am a bit more ambitious! So i’m done with that now, I am trying to jump on the big busses, but as you surely know finding something here without funding his own TR and a 500h Line Training is almost impossible... :ugh: That’s why I wouldn’t mind getting some experience for a few years with copa, even if I read all your advices to stay clear of this airline! ;)

I applied online a few months ago and I’ve just received their famous email with the pdf file and all the beautiful pictures ;) I am going to send them everything un a few days.

Do you guys know if all the people that received this email have been invited to the interviews?
A question for JAR licences holders, did you managed to get your TR on your JAR licence when going back in your country?
I never heard of a no accident/incident report here in my country. I read a few things on how to have something on this thread but that was for US, any advice for me?

Thank you guys!
;)

Hello Crazypilot34!

I received the famous e-mail in mid-February and sent all the documents requested, but for the moment, no news...
Does it happened to someone else recently?

Ok thanks. Still no news for me neither...

For information

I passed interview last week

They need pilot with type rating first

Company training long as 6 to 8 month

I have been offered job direct entry Captain

For first officer, huge need, but training is difficult

Cheers

Hi Captainbbj,

thanks for the info...

Can you please confirm that even for F/Os they prefer pilots with a Type Rating already?

I have applied 3 weeks ago, 1700htt, 1500h Multi-Turboprop, I know my chances are slim....
