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?

For further information, reference this (disregarding the political references). We "felt" he cared, but he was like any other CEO and walked away with his $50m, financed by us.
