How could he not? ; ) 
But doesn't his use of last names in this case imply that he is 
better than them? Or is it just the way things are done?  Have we 
ever heard them address him?  Have we ever heard them speak?

(My only experience with using last names only is in the military 
and that is tied very strongly to rank.)
