from what I'm reading, he wont need to collect/recheck bags or go through security. Its just a case of deplaning and running to the next gate? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm wonder if his checked bags will also make it to the next flight (to MVD, Uruguay)
I would say he has a good chance. The tightest connection I've ever had in PTY I was on board (exit row) a bus gate our door opened when boarding was supposed to start for my next flight. I thought there would be no way. I made the connection easily. I am *G with CM, but I don' think it made a difference people after me made it as well. It really is pretty efficient for connections, but that was way closer then I'd ever like to do again.
