The 24th season of ABC's hit romance reality series "The Bachelor" premieres Jan. 6, 2020.

America is rooting for Pilot Pete after his promising romance with Hannah on the "Bachelorette" came to a shocking end.

Weber is your typical textbook definition of a good ol' American Boy. A native of Westlake Village, California, the 28-year-old aspires to have the same type of loving relationship his parents share. They met over 30 years ago when working on the same flight and were inseparable ever since.

Understandably, Weber's other love is aviation. He began working as a pilot when he turned 23 and landed his dream job as a captain for a major commercial airline at 25. Now he's looking for his forever co-pilot.

So, buckle in and prepare for takeoff when "The Bachelor" returns Jan. 6 on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.
