Completely agree with Farrell. Been doing VIP in the sandpit for 8 years now following my time in the airlines and hired a number of guys. Through experience, my list of important attributes are:
The candidate should have the required experience to be able to fly the aircraft as second nature.
The candidate's ability to be able peacefully exist in a small, independently capable team is paramount. As Farrell intimates - no ego's.
Stable personality with a wife with the same. Don't need knee-jerkers.
That's it. If you are the above there's an excellent chance you'll be fine in all the other fields.
