Bingo! You'll read it in prior posts but one of the main things that register is: Can this person be with a crew for a month without them wanting to strangle him or her at the end of it. I know that sounds trite but it's the truth. Being honest and forthright comes through over the phone and they've done this long enough to differentiate that from contrived or canned answers.
