lol, hey you're not offending me. there are like a kazillion people on earth and you're supposed to have ONE soulmate and they just happen to live in your neighborhood or go to the same school/workplace/church/bar?

yeah that makes more sense.. I thought they were showing a SWA jet instead of a CRJ because it wouldn't look quite as impressive.. lol

Yep, exactly, kalyx522. I like to think of the "soul pool." Some people are in it with you, most are not, and it takes a while to mingle around the thing.

This is Hollywood here. Why would they show a little tiny RJ, when they could put him in a 737 or something big.

Any ASA'ers fly with this guy?

The Bachelor...ASA Captain?

I'm trying to figure out who this dude flies for. Everyone talks about how "loaded" this guy is! What a joke! He's photographed in front of a corporate jet; but some say he works for ASA? Anyone?

Come on. They can't show the names of things..... note the motorcycle is even blocked out as to brand. The plane he's "starting up" is a B737 classic, of undisclosed origin. The plane that flies overhead at the end is a B707 or DC-8. The second Southwest B737 is even photoshop'd from blue to green-ish.

When he puts on his hat, even that is taped over.

It's TV !!!!

That is my point...where does he work?

ICALL - PLEASE MOVE THIS THREAD TO THE APPROPRIATE AREA!!!!

‘Bachelor’ Jake Pavelka Is a Pilot for Atlantic Southeast Airlines
By Bryce Longton October 21, 2009
The latest Bachelor dangled in front of the smacking lips of reality-show gold-diggers happens to be an airline pilot. So macho! While he's no Sully, he is a handsome dude with a million-dollar smile. His name is Jake Pavelka, and incredibly he's actually a former Bachelorette reject, where Jillian Harris booted his ass off of the show for being "too perfect," whatever that means. This will mark the 14th season of The Bachelor and will surely feature high-flying stunts, most likely in some form of the mile-high club, just because the show can't help itself. Jake currently pilots for "Atlantic Southeast Airlines," which is apparently not made up, and has been flying planes since 2000.
Jake will be hanging up his wings for a few months to film the show, which is cutely called ”The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love”. TB:OTWOL is expected to start filming later this month and will air in early 2010. Even though Jake was a one-time aspiring actor (he starred in a bit part on Walker: Texas Ranger!), he swears he’s not going on the show to become famous. As Jake told People, “I’m here to fall in love.” Aren’t we all, Jake, aren’t we all.
