IMO good stick and rudder skills are the backbone to all flying. Attitude is certainly a big part of it as well. Experience comes with time, or exposure, as empati says. If you lack 2 of the 3 mentioned then you`re probably not up to any standards for commercial aviation yet.
Remember the swiss-cheese model crash investigators talk about? How you can have several cheeseholes but as long as they don`t line up things are pretty much going ok? I dare say one of the holes is growing and has been for some time now.
