Kellner takes over at Continental

On Dec. 31, Larry Kellner -- Houston-based Continental Airlines' president and chief operating officer -- will take over as chief executive of Continental, replacing 63-year-old CEO Gordon Bethune, the former mechanic who pulled Continental from the brink of what would have been its third bankruptcy a decade ago.
