Pittsburgh International Airport, Pennsylvania: Ousted executive receives $51k in unused vacation, sick pay

FINDLAY TWP. -- Allegheny County Airport Authority's ousted top executive will receive $51,245 for unused vacation and sick pay, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported,

This payout is in addition to the $134,375 severance package Bradley D. Penrod, president and chief strategy officer, had already received.

Penrod was fired from his post in March. Chief Financial Officer James R. Gill was named acting executive director until a replacement is found.

"Regarding the search for a permanent replacement, the Airport Authority Board is proceeding with the steps for the search," said authority spokeswoman JoAnn Jenny. "Any news on this would be made at the board meeting which is public. At this time there is nothing to report."

Penrod's departure came on the heels of several major developments at the airport,  such as Consol Energy’s two-year deal to drill on 9,200 acres of airport-owned property, and the recent $17.9 billion merger of American Airlines and US Airways.
