I feel that these guys deserve these bases and TC's. They are among the best in the industry (Kool-Aid aside).

Compare with above:

Republic's Bedford: Base $1.01M ????????(What Tha .....?) His TC is $2.03M???
Mesa's Ornstein: Base $555K
Pinnacle's Trenary: Base $689K
XJet's Beam: Base $345K (after a 15% pay cut)
