I think you read me wrong.

PTY is not a DL hub, so no issues there. I just do not like fighting it out with tons of nonrevs at a place like AMS or NRT, where things can change fast.
You are set for an NRT-SEA flight but then LAX falls apart and all the nonrevs flood SEA. Now sitting up front is no longer an option.
At a place like ICN, you have two flights....easier to manage.
Same for AMS. So many flights, that it can fall apart quickly, but BRU or ZRH? A much smaller chance of things going sideways.
I also do not like that you cannot view the active stand by list for AMS either.

For my South American options, I love GRU.
Cheap and easy ZEDs on Gol, and not much competition since one needs a Brazil visa.
