Would you mind sharing something about your background, the hiring process and how you got the job?

Bump
 

Anyone have any updates? Latest PTY interviews?


Bump to the top....

To bossy aussie
 

Congratulations ! just to warning you and the others candidates ,if you passed the assestment does not mean you are in .before you get into the classroom you have to past the panamenian atp written and a Pscycological from the panamenian authorities around 600 questions ,also if they do not told you ,you have to pay for it !!! if you fail any of those tests as well the ground school CMP do not mind if you resing your previous job or you left your country .I know it from several friends that they did the hiring process and they told me that some were fired before ground school...so good luck !

The cost of the written is $250 bucks or so? I think the DEC guys take a written and practical during the final checkride.

more stuff
 

Well....

If someone gives me a gouge or even correct study materials a couple of days before the Panamanian ATP written, shouldn't be a problem.

A 600 item psycho test sounds like the MMPI (Minnesota Multi-Phasic is 600 items long). If so, I have had no problem with that the two times I took it in the past.

The T&C document says that all Expats must take a Panamanian Regulations test (open book) while in Ground School AND that all Captains must take an ATP written the FIRST week in Panama ($250 cost). If Copa is serious about filling Captain seats with highly qualified pilots, there will be some help with study materials for the test.

Luckily, risking a $250 test fee is a really small issue for most of us.

As they say "Many a slip 'twixt cup and lip", but worst case scenario is I get a few more days "vacation" in Panama City.

P.S. Time to quit my current job, anyway......... :cool:

I believe that this is an OPEN book exam during your first week in PTY. This info is for DEC's not sure again about the F/O's.

Hi Guys:

Sent to Bossy Aussy, but I thought I'd give anyone a try....

I am NOT looking for a job at COPA. At least not for around 10 years or so...

But I am trying to establish a contact there to start a reciprocal jumpseat agreement or Zed Fare use with them. I am currently with a major, but hope one day to commute from or work there. Any idea on a better contact number, such as with David Lindskoog? Alternatively, would you be able to find a contact e-mail for me? They are curiously absent for ZED fare and jumpseat travel.

If so, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

I just got this email from nuestrohub...is this good or just routine for everyone? I applied last November 2010. What is this?

i wouldnt quit any job for copa!!! you ll see when you get here. they ll make you a slave.

anyways the atp from panama, the test is from USA ATP, they used ASSA's book

Have you flown for a U.S. regional? On par with being treated like a slave.

Can anybody give some examples of what a normal trip or schedule might be?
Wondering if most of the flying was 3-4 day trips or how long the overnights were?
Thanks

I'm baffled by it now. I think I got an application in OK last fall. I went back to add some reference letters and it looks a lot different than I remembered. It only lets you ad one reference letter in each category, and you can't view your application.

I did a job search, but when you find "pilot" it tells you to email your stuff. So I did, again.

Anybody getting calls or interviews recently?

Help...please
 

I have had the fun experience to try and open an account on Nuestro Hub about 2 dozen times now....to no avail.
I have sent the documents and application they wanted via their e-mail address as a last resort (they don't read their mail apparently, I don't get a return receipt, a month and a half and counting).
I blow their minimums by a large margin and it seems that I just can't get the exposure or the attention of their HR dept. Is there anyone at Copa at this time that knows how to apply and have someone read your resume. I find it baffling that they are looking for qualified people desperately, and I don't get an inquiery.
Amigos pilotos, any suggestion is welcome at this point.

You will have more fun when you get here and start flying on 6-1 schedule over 90 hrs every month and getting in your pocket just around 6500$ for this.

Real fun is ahead of you... :ok:

They would be better staffed if it wasn't so hard to apply :D

Does anyone knows when they will open the next course?

Training Bond !
 

Has anyone heard about a TRAINING BOND at Copa? Someone who works there told me that even CURRENT & QUALIFIED NG CAPTAINS are being asked to sign a bond for over $18,000 to guarantee they stay for 3 years.

It seems unbelievable, but can anyone verify or definitely deny this ?

B :sad:

Just got a mail from the COPA site saying the email address they asked to send the resume/CV is closed and apply online.

However, the site https://www.nuestrohub.com/ is in spanish.

Does anyone know how to get that changed to english? or is there a seperate link to this?

Please advise thanks
