No, but they do have a special configuration in the economy section, in his honor, which is known as LRIC (Less Room in Coach), code name Larry K.

This features bi-level 25" seat pitch, with the top level passenger hanging backawards and upside down from the ceiling to achieve maximum density.

Ahhh, if only the BoD had approved this layout, as Larry had hoped, the airline would be making a mint...

The picture I posted automagically disappeared. Ship 019 has been named the Larry Kellner per @continental.

Linking to a twitpic image requires using their code and you're only supposed to link to the thumbnail.

No middle initial?

I guess LK would like the first 787, but who knows when that may happen...

I think someone spray-painted Frank Lorenzo's name on the nose of a half-scrapped former CO/PE 747-200 at MHV...

Or maybe an A300? Nah, too easy!

I started looking on a.net for something like that... spent 2 hours looking at planes. There goes another night.
