It used to be that good "stick and rudder" skills (co-ordination) with an affable character, would generally see you as a "Good Pilot" but it's changed so much now, with more advanced aircraft. Those qualities still are valid in GA though.

It's more a case of "systems management" and Crew interaction skills that may see you as a Good Pilot in the airlines nowdays ...

Gotta change with the times and technology but for my piece, a colleague that knows how to execute a tricky crosswind landing and is of balanced character, gets my vote anyday.

Happy landings
