-Common and tactical sense
-Well spent skill point distribution
-Game knowledge
-Ability to use the friggin scanner (shocking how many do not)
-Able to fit/fly to win (the "its lost when you undock" philosophy is utter baloney)
-Solid mentors and the ability to learn from them
-Able to handle losses...learn from them...and bounce right back while understanding its a video game and the pixels really have no value beyond entertainment (unless you happen to be an ISK-buyer and then LOL at you  ).
Even rarer are those that can actually scout properly......and vey VERY few are able to seriously handle FC duties at ANY level.
Based on what I have seen perhaps 5-10% of EvE combat pilots fit the above profile. If that many. The remainder are F1-F8 lemmings/cannon fodder/EFT warriors. No offense intended...
The more successful corps have an above-average number of pilots able to fit the above criteria which is why they do well. Snigg, PAK, BOS, AU, and TRI all come to mind as relevant examples. But alliances as a whole will suffer from dilution in the ranks ranging from ratters/industrialists forced to answer CTA's in their rat ships of choice to pilots who really have no clue beyond F1-F8.
**EDIT**Corps named above are just examples who I am familiar with. There are others  .

number of real kills death/ ratio
This must be a joke.
Locking/getting off one shot with 40 others on the mail is not exactly a mark of a great combat pilot. It means you know how to activiate your mods and possibly use a sensor booster  .

....if they ask if u have a ship replacement program or ask how the ratting is or how mining is etc, close convo, it sounds harsh but if that is what they want to ask the first time they talk to you then chances are it is all they are joining for.
thats my opinion anyway, hope it helps.
Why would asking about replacement ships be grounds for dismissing an applicant? It certainly seems valid to ask especially if the corp is on the pew 23/7 and doing so to protect non-combatants/space/etc. Unless the corp specifically states "self-reliance on all matters fiscal and supply-wise" it is a question any street-smart combat pilot SHOULD ask.
And a good k/d ratio (unless solo) is meaningless. It usually means your blob is more efficient than the other guys blob  .
