Tanya Pidgorodetskiy, 25, told People magazine in an interview how she was approached by Wesley, a Frontier Airlines pilot. He invited the passenger out in a rather unusual way.
While waiting in the boarding area at Charlotte airport in North Carolina, the passenger noticed a man in a pilot uniform watching her, but Pidgorodetskiy didn’t pay much attention until boarding.
She says Wesley waved to her nephew, who was on her lap. She thought he was the pilot for the flight to Ohio, but he was off duty.
“I was sitting in the back rows, and 20 minutes before landing, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was that guy, and he handed me a napkin, and I was completely confused,” Pidgorodetskiy recounted.
The note on the napkin said: “Hi, I’m sure you get notes like this all the time, but I’d love to take you out to dinner and get to know you better.” The message also included the pilot’s phone number.
The passenger messaged her suitor the next day and later they went out for dinner. Pidgorodetskiy said they met on Halloween and the connection was instant.
“Since then, we’ve been inseparable,” declared the young woman in love. She shared a video of Wesley playing golf with the passenger’s nephews. She wrote an emotional caption on the video.
“The fact that I almost didn’t catch this flight, and now the pilot who gave me the note is teaching golf to my nephews. The butterfly effect is way too real,” said Pidgorodetskiy.
