Luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff. Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He’s the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed down: Prove you're prioritizing work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings.

The handsome guy at his favorite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner . . . on a nationally televised reality show.
