Delta passenger tweets about lucky solo flight, Twitter more interested in 'hot pilot'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Delta passenger recently made headlines for managing to nab a one-way flight all to himself — however, those on Twitter were more interested in the plane's attractive co-pilot than the passenger’s good luck.
Award-winning director Vincent Peone was traveling from Aspen, Colo., to Salt Lake City, Utah, last week with Delta, but upon arriving at the gate for his rescheduled flight, he learned he was the only passenger.

The one-minute-long video, which racked up nearly 800,000 views byTuesday morning, goes on to show Peone walking out to the plane and talking to ground agents, who are seen adding sandbags to the cargo hold for weight, before boarding and listening to the flight attendant’s safety instructions.

Peone thanks each for transporting him to his destination. The younger pilot then turns around and smiles during the short encounter, effectively setting Twitter’s hearts pounding.
