Default Next "Bachelor" is a regional pilot.

Not that any one us watch this show but the new Bachelor is that ASA CA, Jake Pavelka.

I find it funny they picked a guy who makes $60,000 to live in a multi million dollar house, wine and dine girls, only to have one win and go back to his small house in the 'burbs.

What kind of fantasy life are they going to sell about being married to an underpaid airline pilot who is gone half the month, didn't they have the Firestone heir on a few years back??

I may watch it because I can not wait to hear the lame lines "You are Top Gun of my heart" and the network making it look like he flies a mainline 747, not a crj200.

Haha, I've flown with quite a few FAs that were in love with that guy, and they were all convinced he was gonna be the next bachelor... Guess they were right.

When they talk about his pay and schedule I'm sure the competition will turn into who gets stuck with the guy.

(No offense meant to VA Pavelka or ASA)

Heard on the dates:

"Which button makes it land?"

"Like, oh my god, can you fly me to Paris?"
"No, but we can non rev to Syracuse and rent a car."


"Oh, I thought it would be bigger" (referring to his plane)

I know Jake and he has a lot more going for him career wise than just working at the airline.

IP's make a lot more than 60000 at ASA

OK, so $100,000 to $120,000 is soo much better. I made that as an 8 year FO on the 767 last year. Can I be on a TV show now?

seems like a cool guy, I hope he represents us all well. On a related note, hopefully there are some sugar mommas on the show!

so a little 411 on the guy.

1. How long has he been with ASA?

2. When my wife and I were watching The Bachelorette(I swear I was watching the show so I would make my wife happy because we were spending time together and then...you know), he had on different stripes. ASA guys wear silver correct?
*EDIT* Nevermind, I just went to The Bachelor website (good God I can't believe I just admitted to that but I see he has on his jacket with silver stripes.)

on a side note, I highly recommend tivo'ing The Soup on E!. They make fun of everything ESPECIALLY The Bachelor/Bachelorette

3. I take it from the previous comments he is a captain? IP?

Hope he has some fun on the show.
