Hopeful to COPA
 

Hey guys, as a foreigner what competitive hours for a COPA FO position.

Has anyone recently submitted an app to COPA? Finally got my commercial multi and just barely meet the Panamanian National hour requirements but hoping for the best!

Hey guys. I'm interested in applying for the B737 FO position with COPA, I see they've got a large fleet and a big 737 MAX order. Just trying to find out a few details if anyone can help me with providing the info:

1. Do you have to be type-rated or can they type rate you?
2. What are the FO and Captain salaries like now for 2022?
3. Any idea on time to command?

Thanks!

Has anyone heard anything back at all from COPA recently? I’ve had an app in since January and crickets.

Hi! Does anyone know anything about the reopening of hiring at Copa?

I have had my application in for a year and haven’t heard anything at all.

Does anyone have any news about copa calling again?
I heard that they will receive more aircrafts and that there are a lot of pilots on flydubai and ryanair screening.

Anyone working at Copa commuting from MVD or EZE? How would that look?

It can be really exhausting, several days off in a row are hard to get. However flights are easy to bid for to have some layovers at MVD or EZE.

Hiring
 

Hi, does anyone has news about copa calling foreigns agaian?
Are they receiving new aicrafts yet?

They sent me an email to update my details. So they are at least communicating

They are looking once again for both Captains and FOs.
Any idea of the T&Cs?
How is the training in Panama?
Any training bond?

Thanks

The email I got stated they are opening up vacancies for 2024 and I must update my information. They asked if it was for FO or Captain.
I have no idea on the T&C.
I don't know about training.
Last I heard it was 1 year, but I am not too sure about that.

Thanks bro

Interview
 

has anyone been called selection process for FOr CPT recently, or has any information about it?

Hi Luca!
Where are you from? If your answer is Bolivia, ECUADOR or Peru you will get the email.

Cheers

Received an email in August to update my info. Haven't heard anything since.
I was wondering if any of you who have been through it before could share your experience with the timeline. How long did it take for Copa Airlines to make a decision after the assessment?
Your insights would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance!

i got an email in the july/august that they said the application was on hold as they had to slow down the arrival of new planes....silent on that front since, might try again to apply and see if it didnt get lost in the ether of the net

Hi everyone. I applied since January and I first received an email saying that they postponed the recruitment due to the delays of the 737MAX orders, but recently (1 month ago a little more) I received an email with a form to fill in my personal info and flight time. I have at the moment 939TT non panamean, I know I'm not yet on the minimums but I'm applying to get my curriculum on the cloud. I'm also actively flying on a jet operation (737CL). A good friend of mine working at Copa told me that they are recruiting now and are in need of pilots. I suppose it's harder for us FO applicants as they are now taking almost all of their FO's from their flight school ALAS. I'm shooting my shot anyway!

Good luck for everyone

Has anyone heard anything from Copa lately?

In the end of last year I spoke to a friend who flies there. He told me that Copa had some delays in aircraft delivery, that's the reason Copa is not calling anyone for screening process right now, he is pretty sure that they will hire again this year, there are a lot of pilots leaving copa for other airlines in US, and middle east, he also told me that they have a lot of upgrade process for next year, and they are increasing the number of instructors.
