I'm sure he has a contract that provides him F or private jet travel for work. So if he didn't wish to fly NRSA for vacations it leaves him plenty of money to buy F if he wants to.

While I think 600K is too much and some could be used to fix AC or complete the ITPE. I can't fault him for being able to negotiate his salary, stock options, etc....
