[edit] Cpzphantom's contributions to this page

I want to comment on Cpzphantom's contributions to this page. This user has posted erroneous information that diminishes the quality of the article. In order to clarify the situation, and to prevent this user to continue posting information that is wrong, I would like to contribute the following:

1. The parent company of Copa Airlines and AeroRepublica is Copa Holdings, S.A. not Copa Holdings, Inc. This company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CPA.

2. Copa Airlines flies to 36 destinations in 21 countries (all of the company's press releases reveal this information).

3. Copa Airlines currently DOES NOT fly to Montego Bay, Jamaica.

4. Copa Airlines does not have and has never had a codeshare agreement with Iberia. In fact, its codeshare agreement with Continental Airlines does not include European destinations.

5. Copa Airlines does not have Boeing 737-200's in its fleet since 2005, the year when the last of these aircraft was sold. It does not operate 4 of these aircraft as cargo aircraft. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Schonbrunn (talk • contribs) 00:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

I'm glad someone else noticed (and corrected) the erroneous information posted in this article. I was trying to clean it from all that stuff also. Thanks for your help. --Metalclaus 17:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response to Cpzphantom's comments on my edits to Copa Airlines

Cpzphantom, it seems to me that you have not understood that the point of this whole site is to provide information on different topics with the same type of credibility as an encyclopedia. Here are a few comments in italics on what you posted on my user talk. I'm reproducing here what you posted on my user talk with a few comments:

Well I see, however, some of your edits are also wrong as well.

First of all, Copa Airlines is one of American Airlines main enemies so that is true, also, American is in a hard ccompetition with copa airlines, so this facts are all accurate This is an opinion, not a fact. What do you mean by hard competition? Fleet size? Destinations? Passengers?

also, codeshare flights are counted as destinations so in total, they are 38 destinations. There you go again. Please, check Copa's press releases and you will find that they do not include codeshare flights as destinations. Codeshare flights to Newark and Houston are operated by Continental with Continental's aircraft.

Copa also offers red eye flights since I flew to JFK departing in 10:30 to 12:45 so those flights are real indeed. Technically, Red-Eye flights operate from 9:30 PM to 5:00 AM, local time. Copa Airlines flights to JFK and LAX depart Panama around 7:30 PM and arrive at their destinations around 12:00-1:00 AM (given the time differences). They do not qualify as red-eye's. If you flew to JFK departing at 10:30 to 12:45, then those flights are not "real indeed" because you did not fly Copa!

And finally, Copa is indeed one of the most advanced airlines around the world so erasing this is incorrect. Once again, opinion

I do not have a problem with you contributing. Just make sure to get your facts straight before posting wrong information Schonbrunn 00:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] My new facts are true

Adding that houston and newark are destinations of copa airlines under codeshare agreements with continental doesn't mean these facts are erroneus, also, then, why copa has agencies in all the world, also, copa is indeed an award winning airline and it has one of the most modern fleet, everything is on its webpage.

[edit] Removing "NYSE:CPA"

I'm removing the "NYSE:CPA" from Copa Airlines description because actually the company traded in the NYSE is Copa Holdings, the parent company and not Copa Airlines itself.

[edit] Award-winning and villains

Actually, American airlines serves the same market as well and about the awards, copa is indeed an award-winning airlines so all you're facts aren't accurate. STOP EDITING CONTENT, WE WANT A FIRST CLASS ARTICLE.

[edit] Villains?

Villains? What are you talking about? Your comments make absolutely no sense. You keep posting information that has no objective validity and no aggregate value. Plus, your username has been blocked for copyright infringement so you should not even be posting. You lack the credibility and the facts to make this a "first class site". Let people who have done their research and are contributing facts (not opinions or point of view) do their part in making this article better.--Schonbrunn 01:31, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Until it... but

Didn't Copa won prizes?

[edit] I've made my research

ALL MY EDITS WERE CORRECT THIS TIME, SEE THEM FOR YOURSELF, RESEARCH BETTER AND DISCUSS BEFORE CHANGING SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've broke my back investigating day and night without sleeping cause you say all my info is bad, CHECK THESE LINKS BEFORE UNDOING SOMETHING! 201.224.23.10 04:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Nobody cares what you researched. You are banned. Period. You are not allowed to edit here. Forget about Wikipedia. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

If you really care about this article, please stop. Your never-ending attempt to contribute do harm to its quality.--Metalclaus 15:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I believe that we can reach an agreement. What if you correct the present edits to the real ones to make the article slighty more informative and more bigger, if you think I'm wrong then see the links above to search for all the facts that will give proof to my hypothesis. then compare all my wrong edits to the facts above and see what of them fits better or rebuild the article again.201.224.24.155 18:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

if that's the case, then why did you edit the article, both of us are correct and both of us revert the other one changes, so, aren't both of us doing damage to the article. Think About It. 201.224.24.155 19:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
