The job offer comes and depending on how well they coordinate your paperwork, they may give you as early as 7-10 days before you have to leave for PTY. Sometimes more...

For the Compass Test, the most useful one I think is the one available from latestpilotjobs.com

For the general knowledge test, they seem to have their own question bank but I'd recommend you use ASA ATPL Prepware.

Thank you very much!

Has anyone been invited to the process without been flying for more than 12 months? It's been 3 years for me.

Most airlines accept FAA English Proficient as a 4.... you will be required to do an English test within 3 years? From date received certificate.

As you have no flights in the last 24 months, I think they expect you to perform a flight review.

Copa is hiring expats with Level 5 as minimum.

They seem quite desperate, called me 2 times and send me 6 email since 3 weeks...

you can always reply to the email and Say No. worked for me

Trying to get invited
 

Hey guys, maybe someone could help me. I would appreciate it.

I'm trying to apply for copa as an first officer, but I just received one email with the application and sent it back. I'm already waiting 3 weeks, but still no confirmation of receiption of my documents nor any other feedback.

I have around 1500 hours on the 737 NG and speak as well basic spanisch.

Any ideas?

Do you have icao 5 or 6? If yes try again

Hi, can anyone give me a hand on how to pass the poly test? I'm going to Panama for interviews, test, etc next week! Thanks.

Do they are now accepting ICAO 4 as minimum requirement?

There's no way to help you on the polygraph.

They're going to ask you several questions about your life and you must answer them honestly.

All answers are yes or no.

Ok, got it!

My concern is because I read that 90% fails on the poly test and only 10% on the rest of the tests. Do you know any of those questions and what should I expect?

And also, any advice on how to succeed on this process will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Don't know if those figures are correct, but I seriously doubt it. If people fail a lot it's because they lie a lot.

Questions about the polygraph are related to drugs, alcohol, problems with the police/justice, if your flight experience is real, if you lied during the interview and etc. It's uncomfortable because they place a bunch of electrodes on your body and you sit on an armchair faced to the wall while answering the questions, so you feel I little bit like a criminal, but the questions are really no big deal and all yes or no answers.

For the rest of the process, I'd highly recommend you buying the preparation package at latestpilotjobs.com and study through it.

Do you know if they are now accepting ICAO 4 as minimum?

Yeah, me neither, it's something that I read, rumors... but worried me a lot!

I really need the job so, going through an unknown process that I never did before it's what worries me the most.

Thanks for the info regarding the questions! That calms me down and also the prep at latestpilotjobs, I just bought it!

Well, thanks my friend! Keep it up.

For expats minimum is ICAO 5.

Are you in Panamá or going to this week? If yes, tell us how many guys are with you during the process? Where they came from and I will send you a whatsapp group that is a list of guys that have done it recently.

Are they accepting ICAO CPL/Australian Licence?
Cheers
