They released the transcript of the Q2 2022 earnings call for Copa:
https://seekingalpha.com/article/453092 ... transcriptLots of interesting tidbits in the earnings call.
They will reach 100% of pre pandemic capacity en Q3 2022.
They are planning to have a sub fleet of roughly 30 B737-9 planes. So the rest of their maxes will be 8 and 10s. Also, they haven't decided 100% on the number of max 10s (maybe because of the uncertainty of its approval process?).
We have options in the MAX 10s also. So we haven't made a final decision there, but that's kind of how it looks right now.
They have updated their fleet plan:

They did $120 million stock buy back or 4% in Q2. Most likely due to its lower price (looking at CPA stock, it went from a max of $82 to a min of $55.76).
The one that made my laugh the most was what the CEO of Copa said about the distances in the T2:
The only negative is walking distances can be quite long from one extreme to the other, it's not uncommon in most airports and major hubs, but some of our passengers are not used to that, but we're selling the health side of walking and exercise that we do.
