yes I would appreciate a PM with some contacts also. Seems the other two Americans I interviewed with were not qualified also, according to Copa, one a 757 captain, the other a CR-700 Captain.

Any news about the new salary?

Waiting for November...:confused: :O

So Sorry for you NZ X man. I am sure in present climate you still will have your chance and might be even in better place :ok:

Hay thankl and your right, was not meant to be, and I actually always thought it might not be the place to finish up.

All the best
X man

Could any one tell me,how many captains Copa has already found for the
Nov training class?

I guess there are some guys who know what is going on in Copa from inside.So I want to ask them,whether they know to tell me,if there are
interviews in Oct or Nov and how many captains has Copa found for
the Nov training class or not.

NZ X man

Did you get a clear answer from Copa "No Thanks" or you gathered that?

Copa
 

Clear answer, no thanks. along with two other pilots I interviewed with.

NZ X man

Do you know by any chance how many captains has Copa found for the
Nov training class?

Copa
 

No Idea, according to the HR person I have been talking to throughout this process, she had NO interviews booked in October, her words. I suggest you attempt to contact their HR person, whomever that might be NOW, for your inquires or perhaps, someone will have some more info with the latest greatest.
Cheers

Sorry i don't :confused:
But way this obsession with Nov? There are continues plan of delivery up to 2017, next year I believe coming around 12 airplanes.

if you have more than 1000 pic in any jet more than 50pax they wil l give u an interview.base salary for captains 3800 plus per diem plus 800 for living expenses. you will take home at least 4500. good cash for panama . but you only get 7 days off a month.

No matter who you are,no matter how many hours you have,no matter whether you are type-rated or not,they get the less experienced as well as the non-rated.They are afraid of loosing them efter a sort period.
So if you have the minimum requirements that they are asking for, you will get a job proposal.

I am not sure that this statement is completely correct. Could be some politics involved also.

What else an ordinary experienced captain can think of,by not getting hired by a company which says that, it gets the most experienced as well as the most qualified captains?

Hired or Not hired
 

If you pass the COPA assestment you will be hired. The simulator and your references are very important. COPA have had pilots that did well but could not produce references from previous employers, and there have been pilots that wrote thier own letters and got caught doing so.

As for pay there are some rumors but I have not seen anything yet, once I see my check I belive it.

Work for COPA is like any onther airline except SPANISH, it helps if you speak it. Panama aviation Law written test is in Spanish.

Indoc is to long, Systems class is to long but it is how this are done here in Panama, you can't change it you just deal with it.

Overall I am ok with this place.

Copa
 

You are right up to a point.If a candidate thinks that did everything O.K
and didn't get a proposal,if he asks for the reason of not been hired,nobody is gone give him an explanation,regarding his failure.
As far as references,they don't always say the truth.
References should be at the bottom line of the requirements and to be used, if needed.
As long as you have done everything else correct,references don't count.A pilot is checked on the sim and secondly in the tests.

No employer will tell you why you did not get hired. That is a given, 2nd it is not a pass fail thing, it is a FIT or do NOT FIT. You have to fit employers profile. Some do some don't. As far as for the references, it would be foolish of a candidate to fabricate a reference letter or provide a reference that will not speak highly of you.

You can interview for Southwest and get a rejection letter, that does not mean that you failed, you just did not fit. I have friends that received rejection letters from Continental and got hired by Delta. Part of being succesful during an inteview is to prepare your self for the interview and know in advance what type of profile they are looking for.You need to tailor your answers to fit the prospective employers need.

Copa
 

You are right as long as you have company's profile at the begining,you may prepare your self for the interview and at the end of the day you find out yourself whether you fit company's profile or not.It should be that way.
As far as Copa, doesn't give any clue regarding what they are looking for.
So you go there, you try to do your best and at the end you get a rejection.
