I've never seen "good stick" anywhere on an airline pilot job requirement other than flying to pts standards. But I do see professionalism as a requirement, and the ability to read speak and write in the English language.

Also, no one said milehigh, or Yeager, was a crap pilot. Quit making crap up.
