You are correct that CPU is available on all COPA flights, but, of course, there is no guarantee that you will get it. I had not failed to get an UG on COPA on about 50 segments since Jan '11, but I missed 2 in the past 2 weeks (IAD-PTY and PTY-IAD). Another one was a near miss - I was UG'd seconds before the door closed. So, I would say that you should use the GPU if you can.

I am 99.99% sure that you only need one GPU for EWR-PTY-EZE. If you were using RPU's, I think you would need 2.
