AMERICAN AIRLINES as FEC employer text: $6.4 million

A second major-carrier string on the same index

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. AMERICAN AIRLINES is the brand as stored on individual receipts. The $6,427,635 total is those itemized gifts. It is not American’s operating revenue, not AMR or AAG as a holding-company acronym, and not a NAICS rollup of all passenger airlines.

People who typed AMERICAN, AA, AMERICAN EAGLE, a regional affiliate, or PILOT without the carrier sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key. UNITED AIRLINES remains a separate employer-name page.

Holding-company acronyms and regional affiliate names, if stored separately, never enter AMERICAN AIRLINES. The $6,427,635 total is the carrier brand as grouped, not AAG as a parent ticker.

1,252 donors and 33,790 lines

1,252 unique donors produced 33,790 AMERICAN AIRLINES contribution lines totaling $6,427,635. That is on the order of 27 itemized receipts per donor. UNITED AIRLINES remains a separate carrier key. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a cockpit-versus-ground split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the carrier’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,427,635 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

1,252 unique donors produced 33,790 lines. Repeat itemized gifts explain the ratio. The packet does not publish a cockpit share of those 1,252 people.

United, FAA, and title-only rows

UNITED AIRLINES and FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with AMERICAN AIRLINES would mix two carriers and a regulator. This page stays at $6,427,635 for AMERICAN AIRLINES only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the carrier. Those titles as employer-box strings are other industry keys when donors skipped the company name. ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COMPANY is a ground-transport employer, not an airline synonym.

Do not add ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COMPANY into AMERICAN AIRLINES. Ground-transport payroll is a different employer string. This page reports $6,427,635 from 1,252 donors and 33,790 lines for the carrier only.

Donor table

The AMERICAN AIRLINES donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a route award, a labor contract, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the brand share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.

Repeat names are expected among 33,790 lines from 1,252 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the carrier string.

AMERICAN AIRLINES on the table is not UNITED AIRLINES. 33,790 lines from 1,252 donors totaling $6,427,635 stay on this carrier brand. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION is a regulator employer. Craft titles without the carrier sit in those other rows. Repeat names are expected.

Carrier siblings stay on separate pages

AMERICAN AIRLINES grouped $6,427,635 from 1,252 donors and 33,790 lines. UNITED AIRLINES is a separate carrier overlay. AMERICAN without AIRLINES, AA, AMERICAN EAGLE, and PILOT as a title are other keys if stored that way. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION is a regulator employer, not airline payroll.

ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COMPANY is a ground-transport employer, not a cockpit synonym. Unitemized gifts and the carrier’s PAC documents stay outside the $6,427,635 unless an individual receipt lists AMERICAN AIRLINES.

The donor table lists disclosed names and committees. LobbyVault does not attach a route award to a large gift. Former employees who still type the brand remain in the 1,252. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS air-transportation total.

Keep AMERICAN AIRLINES’s $6,427,635, 33,790 contributions, and 1,252 donors on this carrier string. UNITED AIRLINES stays on its own page. Unitemized gifts and the carrier PAC remain omitted.
