What AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER donors give in federal races

High line count, small mean gift

$14,802,186 is the occupation-level dollar total. 138,186 is the itemization count. 3,081 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $107. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,804. Repeat giving is about 45 itemizations per donor record.

138,186 lines from 3,081 records is a high-repeat pattern. The per-line mean of about $107 is among the smaller means in this harvest band, which is why the contribution count — not a handful of large checks — explains how $14.8 million accumulated.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of federal pay allocated to politics. The packet has no facility field, no union-PAC split, and no gift-size distribution.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER is not PILOT

PILOT, CONTROLLER, and FAA — if those strings exist as occupation keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. This page cites only $14,802,186, 138,186 contributions, and 3,081 donors.

The FEC does not verify FAA credentials or tower assignments. Retired controllers, trainees who typed the title, and people using the word loosely can all appear. Occupation is the donor’s word on that line.

What the dollars do not measure

$14,802,186 is not a federal-employee PAC total and not an NATCA membership census. Industry pages group employers. A controller at a tower and a controller at a center share this occupation string if they typed AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER.

Party is not stored in the occupation column. Open the AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER occupation page for recipient rows. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $14.8 million.

Using the hub

Cite $14,802,186, 138,186 contributions, and 3,081 donors together. A sentence that shows only the dollars hides that the money arrived in 138,186 pieces. Use the occupations index to compare AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER with neighboring aviation titles without merging them.

Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live filters may change displayed sums. Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Limits

3,081 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Extra words (retired air traffic controller, FAA air traffic controller) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER.

Do not treat about 45 itemizations per donor record as a typical giving cadence for all controllers. It is an arithmetic ratio on this exact string.

Federal-title volume without a credential match

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER in this extract is $14,802,186 on 138,186 itemizations from 3,081 donor records. About 45 itemizations per donor record is a high repeat rate. Mean line size is about $107; mean dollars per donor record are about $4,804. PILOT remains another hub if present as a separate key.

Industry pages for transportation will not equal $14,802,186. FAA credentials are not verified. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER, dollars equal $14,802,186, contributions equal 138,186, donors equal 3,081. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Compact millions ($14.8 million) are the same headline amount as $14,802,186, rounded to one decimal place.

138,186 itemizations is the number that explains how $14.8 million accumulated on a mean line of about $107. Retired air traffic controller and FAA air traffic controller create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. This total is not an NATCA membership census.

3,081 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only. Use the occupations index to compare AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER with neighboring aviation titles without merging them. Quote the exact string, then $14,802,186, 138,186 contributions, and 3,081 donors, and stop.

Towers and centers share AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER if the donor typed that phrase. 138,186 itemizations from 3,081 donor records produced $14,802,186 on a mean line of about $107. About 45 itemizations per donor record is a high repeat rate. FAA credentials are not matched. PILOT stays outside. Cite the three facts.
