Neither the fleet nor the logo are a coincidence -- CO used to own 51% of Copa. However, since the IPO, CO has reduced that to 10%. As a result, I expect that Copa will be able to make their own decision; if they follow CO, it'll be because they believe it to be the best for Copa, not because CO told them to.
