One might think the best trait a potential pilot  However, according to Sundance Helicopters  only half the job, albeit the most important. He explains that in addition to exceptional piloting skills, there are other desired innate character traits. For example, a socially extroverted pilot who’s a great communicator and focuses on customer service is considered a home run. The company is looking for balance. “Even though we are a customer service business, we look  and are skilled aeronautical decision makers,”  aspects of the job will all fall into place naturally for most people when put in front of a group of passengers, especially since most helicopter pilots actually enjoy talking about what they do with


non-aviators. To ensure this happens, Sundance Helicopters is developing and delivering tour-  experience of a lifetime.


Two other prize traits sought in Sundance Helicopters pilots is that they be trainable (open to learning “the Sundance way”) and also be team players. New hires can expect to be put  training program, which culminates in an FAA   the amount of information that must be learned. It’s also supremely important that pilots work very well in team settings, since they work side by side for long days in a harsh environment. Therefore, their ability to get along, especially in front of guests, is a top priority.
