18000


its true

I got the same message this morning. I went on their site and finished my app.

Does anyone know what the recent payscales are there?

Hasn't changed for the last 4 years. :cool:

What were they 4 years ago?

Was covered here not once.....just make a little effort ...:ok:

Wow... you have been so helpful.

SouthSeasFlyer, just so you know thats the attitude in Copa, just like inmigrant, and that goes from the cleaning crew all the way up to management.

by the way capt. are making about 5500 for 63 hours.

take care.

If you go to copaair.com and click on "work with us" you should get English, or if you get the Spanish page there should be a link for "ingles". That doesn't mean it works, it just means there should be a link. It's a real pain to use.

Couldn't imagine that exist so dam lazy searchers for the job
just TWO clicks of a mouse to page 5..... amassing :oh:

Copa´s Offer: Pay and Benefits
A. Pay: Captain

 Gastos de Representacion - $760.00 This amount is taxable according to Panamanian fiscal law.
 Per Diem –63 hours -$882.00
 Productivity - $200.00
 Additional hours above 63, will be paid at a rate of $64.00.
*An additional $ 640 per month is paid at the completion of training (IOE).

Yes, I tried that. But the forms always ends up coming in Spanish. No option to change the language option while in the form sections.

about to apply @ Copa as a street CA. Sounds like a mixed bag. Any expats commuting from US? I think someone said you only get 7-10 days off a month. Anyone? :confused:

I think you should check your expectations, comuting, part-time, flightrequest are among other words companies in Latin America as a general, it seems, refuse to apply.

Ok, I just returned from Panama
What they don't tell you is that there is an 18k training bond you have to sign for 3 years. Also, the pay is very very low $3800/mo (Capt. pay subject to a 23-24% Panamanian tax rate), $1080 per Diem a month (non-taxable) and $800 per month housing allowance for 2 years (non-taxable). There is supposed to be a new contract negotiation starting in Sept because they are losing so many experienced Captains. They are not hiring FOs at this point. The average FO is 21-25 years old and very inexperienced.

It is a non-commuting job. You are guaranteed 5 days off a month and they are not consecutive. They also will NOT allow you to ride the jumpseat on any Copa flight without permission from the fleet manager (the Capt has NO SAY). And of course, with such a policy, there is no JS agreements with any other carriers.

Everyone in the country speaks spanish, so if you don't you will have a difficult time. Very nice people and we were treated well, but had long waits to go through the interview process. On the morning of the actual interview, we (3 of us) arrived at 9 am and did not talk to anyone until 3 pm.

Just want anyone thinking of interviewing there to go with their eyes wide open.

This is pretty accurate :ok:

And yet they want to hire experienced 737 captains, who could make at least three times as much in China.

NO VMO

Thanks a lot for the Info!
Do you know when they gonna hire FO's again? Or other info about FO's..

Thanks Again

In talking to some of the FOs there they say that they are hardly flying because they have too many of them. They need experienced Captains badly and are trying to upgrade those that are upgradable but there are not too many with the qualifications.

The young woman who flew support for our sim ride did a great job, but was about 24 and had only been with Copa for 2 years. She said she still had a couple more years before she could upgrade. She was from Spain.

I wouldnt look for FO hiring at Copa for at least until the first quarter of next year...
