No personality; dull in general. The type who can’t (or won’t) verbalize what they’re thinking when an ambiguous situation, or a change in plan presents itself.
The type who are so experienced yet fail to turn on all exterior lights when crossing runways because they’re too lazy to reach up, or who have just utterly failed to realize it’s a ‘thing’ now.
Those types, IMO. I award them 90 IQ points, maximum. As always, exceptions exist.

I’ve done a straight in ABQ visual, from the back seat of an aircraft I was only rated to fly in the back seat of and not even then as a pilot.
Get your front seater hung over bad enough on a cross country and he’ll let you do damn near anything even if you only have an FAA PPL and WSO wings...
.
Just pull up the HUD in your center MFD and go for it.

Someone who has been in the same aircraft type/seat for more than five years...

I've even been surprised when a few old "I'd only leave for DAL or FDX" guys (who I though were just saying that as an excuse) have recently left for DAL or FDX.

Over the course of that phase of my life I lulled a number of front seaters into a false sense of security....
Oh, and the seat selector was ALWAYS in aft initiate.
