The Maryland-based company will be paid 30 percent of the new hire's first year total expected compensation, estimated at $250,000, plus expenses, authority spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny said Friday. Ousted airport authority president and chief strategy officer Bradley D. Penrod received a $134,375 severance package, plus $51,245 for unused vacation and sick pay, the latter of which the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. Penrod was fired in March; chief Financial Officer James R. Gill was named acting executive director until a replacement is found.
