Pilot recruitment
Mixed fleet of ATR 72-600 turboprops and Embraer E195-E2 regional jets. Binter's recruitment page lists as minimum requirements an ATPL (PTLA in Spanish) or CPL, a medical certificate, and level 4 in both English and Spanish (Castilian); a type rating and hours on its fleet are an advantage but not mandatory. Spanish is therefore essential. Some ATR flying is operated by the subsidiaries Canarias Airlines and Naysa, which may affect who your employer is. No cadet programme is advertised: check requirements and open positions on Binter's jobs portal.

Give yourself every chance
A first officer selection usually combines a technical test (ATPL and aircraft knowledge), aptitude tests, a group exercise, an HR and technical interview, then a simulator check.
Revise the ATPL subjects that come up most in technical interviews: performance, meteorology, systems, procedures. Prepare concrete examples of crew teamwork for the interview.
If the posting mentions aptitude tests, practise the most common families of exercises: mental arithmetic, multitasking, orientation, reasoning.
