My uncle is a long time CAL pilot, so our extended family has been through the good and the bad at CAL. Mr. Bethune actually sat up front in the copilot's seat and we chatted most of the flight, he seemed like a cool guy. When Lorenzo flew, I had him sit all the way in the back (in a C-402) and at the end of my cabin safety briefing said, "on behalf of my Continental family, welcome aboard." (Hope you enjoy the non-existent head room back there...)
