what makes a good pilot?

[oldskoolbronco2]

A friend of mine once told me he was the "best 8 hour pilot ever!" I am sure now he is the best 8 hour emb170 sic now.

A good pilot remembers to get his/her cellphone/laptop/sunglasses/PDA, etc. Remember to take all of your carry-on items with you when you leave an aircraft. I'm not lost and found and I don't have time for that sh*t.

You kids have a nice day.

-we all know that the best pilots in the world are from gulfstream and the second best are the ones from embry riddle.

All the best pilots know they are not the best. They know they are humans subject to human traits. They use all the crutches available to them like checklists, profiles, stabilized approaches, and open to all input that may improve or correct their performance. Those are the best pilots.

Which one are you:
A) extremely sarcastic
B)a cocky dork who bought two type ratings (or just claims he has them) and probably thinks he's cool by continuously quoting Top Gun in an English or French accent to all your crews since you keep spelling all your words like "seniour captain". (No offense to the English meant by this, just curious about all the U's).
C)
D)
E)
etc.
