Key figures
- American Airlines × 2010 is $255,495 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 413 contributions from 98 donors.
- 2010 is about 4.0% of the grouping’s $6,427,635 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not an air-transportation NAICS total and not an American Airlines PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
American Airlines crossed with 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — American Airlines and 2010 — sum to $255,495. 413 itemized contributions and 98 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
Neither the American Airlines hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Ninety-eight donors and 413 lines in 2010 sit under the two-word carrier brand. AMR-era legal names and later merger labels stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal aviation contracts on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. AMR, AMERICAN AIRLINES INC, AA, US AIRWAYS, and generic PILOT or FLIGHT ATTENDANT occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.
4.0% of the American Airlines roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,427,635 ($6.4 million). The 2010 slice of $255,495 is about 4.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.0%. Treating 2010 as the American Airlines FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $6,427,635 as the denominator for the 4.0% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $6,427,635.

Questions
- How much did American Airlines donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $255,495 in itemized individual contributions for the American Airlines grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 413 contributions and 98 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $6,427,635 all-cycle figure.
- What share of American Airlines FEC money is 2010?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,427,635. The 2010 cell of $255,495 is about 4.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.0% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the American Airlines hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is this American Airlines’s PAC or an official account?
- No. $255,495 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to American Airlines. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not an air-transportation NAICS total and not an American Airlines PAC.
- Where is the overlay for the American Airlines 2010 join?
- Open American Airlines 2010 for the cycle overlay, American Airlines for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
