Airline Pilot political money — 2008 FEC cycle

AIRLINE PILOT matched to FEC cycle 2008

Schedule A lines that stored occupation AIRLINE PILOT and cycle 2008 aggregate to $134,330. Count of lines: 234. Count of donor keys: 99. Mean gift $574; mean per donor $1,357. Those four integers and two means are the quantitative core. AIRLINE PILOT in 2008 is $134,330 from 234 receipts and 99 donors (2.0% of $6,657,691), about 2.4 lines per donor. Pilot without Airline is a different occupation string.

Self-reported aviation occupation is the right description of the grouping. The FEC does not verify licenses. Pilot, commercial pilot, captain, and airline captain are not folded into $134,330. Unitemized gifts never enter the cell.

Where $6,523,361 still sits

Most of the Airline Pilot string is not this cycle: $6,523,361 of $6,657,691 sits outside 2008. Cite 2.0% only as this window’s slice of the occupation roll.

Other Airline Pilot cycle cells are separate harvests. Cite each cycle’s packet rather than averaging them. This packet’s cycle total is $134,330.

Means on $134,330: $574 and $1,357

Derived means travel with the counts: $574 per contribution, $1,357 per donor. Label them as arithmetic. They are not typical salaries and not a party split.

The 2008 cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell. This tie keeps Airline Pilot on so those other titles are not mixed into $134,330.

What this join refuses to claim

This join refuses donor names not in the packet, refuses a party split not in the packet, and refuses any claim that FEC itemized gifts fund USAspending awards. What it reports is $134,330 from 234 contributions and 99 donors for Airline Pilot in 2008.

If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live occupation and cycle hubs control. This prose is a packet snapshot of the two-dimension cell.

The denominator $6,657,691 is every cycle stored for AIRLINE PILOT, not revenue and not assets. $134,330 over $6,657,691 is about 2.0%. The leftover $6,523,361 is other even-year windows on the Airline Pilot hub.

Means: $574 per itemized contribution, $1,357 per unique donor, 2.4 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $134,330, 234, and 99. They are not medians.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $134,330, 234, 99, 2.0%, $6,657,691, and the string AIRLINE PILOT. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle.

$574 per contribution and $1,357 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. Self-reported aviation occupation remains the right description of the grouping.

2008 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $134,330 is the two-year cell.

PAC filings sit outside $134,330. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is self-reported aviation occupation, not an ALPA PAC, an FAA certificate census, or Pilot as a shorter sibling key.

Live tables versus this snapshot

This JSON is a packet snapshot. Amended filings move $134,330 and $6,657,691. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Airline Pilot donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $134,330.

Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($134,330), then both keys (Airline Pilot, 2008), then volume (234 contributions, 99 donors), then source (FEC.gov).

The occupation string AIRLINE PILOT is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2008 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $134,330 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 99. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (234) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $134,330. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation AIRLINE PILOT and cycle 2008, then $134,330, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.
