Its on his personal facebook page. I saw maybe 2 years ago, maybe less. Don't remember the date exactly. He's very active so there are lots of posts and I don't know how to search someone else's facebook. He has a very active page so good luck.

Thanks for the clarification.

Rumors, true or not, often reflect a shared line of thinking within a group. One rumor had Bethune traveling and a passenger in first class mistreated a flight attendant before the door closed. He confronted the passenger and asked how much he paid for his ticket. The man told him and also said who are you? Bethune said I'm the CEO, peeled off many hundred dollar bills approximately equal to the ticket price, gave them to him and said now get off my plane. Great story. But did this really happen?
