My first thought is that they are possibly looking at people known to live in the region. Then I realized that you certainly live in their region, so that doesn't compute. Wish I could share my good fortune.
Status matches to Avianca might also be an option for some, assuming there isn't some *A agreement to prevent inter-alliance poaching. While I personally prefer Copa over Avianca on most routes where they compete, there is still the likelihood of an IT meltdown in all of this.
AV's IT is bad, but it will probably look cutting edge compared to what CM launches after they move from the 19th century phone-in system.
