Airline Pilot political contributions from Tennessee

Airline Pilot and Tennessee as a certificate-string join

Occupation AIRLINE PILOT and donor state TN together sum to $191,476, 1,677 contributions, and 63 donors. The occupation hub is $6,657,691, 63,790 contributions, and 2,387 donors. Tennessee's share of dollars is 2.9%; of contributions, 2.6% (1,677 of 63,790); of donors, 2.6% (63 of 2,387).

Sixty-three Tennessee donors produced 1,677 itemized rows — a high-repeat state cell inside 63,790 national Airline Pilot rows. Mean itemized dollars per Tennessee donor in this cell are $3,039; mean per contribution are $114. Those averages are arithmetic on the three packet counts, not typical-gift medians, and they are not evidence of a typical Airline Pilot paycheck.

The leftover $6,466,215 is Airline Pilot-coded money from every other state combined on this extract. Adding other occupation strings that sound similar would invent a combined total the FEC file does not publish as one cell. PILOT, COMMERCIAL PILOT, and CAPTAIN, if used, sit in other occupation hubs.

AIRLINE PILOT versus PILOT as separate FEC labels

AIRLINE PILOT is the occupation string on this page. Neighboring labels are not rolled in. PILOT, COMMERCIAL PILOT, and CAPTAIN, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. The national hub remains $6,657,691 from 2,387 donors and 63,790 contributions even when a reader expects a broader professional category.

Tennessee's 1,677 contributions are 2.6% of national Airline Pilot rows; 63 donors are 2.6%; dollars are 2.9%. Row share and dollar share need not match. A few large itemized gifts can lift dollars while a high-repeat pattern lifts rows. This extract does not publish a median.

Sixty-three Tennessee Airline Pilot donors

Mean Tennessee Airline Pilot itemized dollars per donor are $3,039, versus $2,789 nationally for the occupation. That gap is a ratio of packet totals, not a finding about Tennessee wages or Airline Pilot compensation.

Sixty-three Tennessee donors produced 1,677 itemized rows — a high-repeat state cell inside 63,790 national Airline Pilot rows. Unique-donor counts can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Treat 63 as an aggregate, not a person-level audit.

Donor state is not a domicile or base city

This page does not measure an FAA certificate extract, an airline seniority list, or an ALPA roll, and it does not claim that Airline Pilot-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

AIRLINE PILOT fragments against sibling strings. Those strings, if used, never enter the $6,657,691 or the $191,476. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Tennessee dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Airline Pilot dollars from every other state

Subtract the Tennessee dollars on this page from the national Airline Pilot occupation total and the difference is $6,466,215 still coded Airline Pilot in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Airline Pilot donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Tennessee campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Tennessee dollars, or only the Airline Pilot national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Pilot-certificate overlap is the unit: AIRLINE PILOT × TN = $191,476.

Read the three Tennessee counts as one cell: $191,476 dollars, 1,677 contributions, 63 donors. Read the three national Airline Pilot counts as the other: $6,657,691, 63,790, 2,387. Percentages (2.9% of dollars, 2.6% of rows, 2.6% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Sixty-three Tennessee donors produced 1,677 itemized rows — a high-repeat state cell inside 63,790 national Airline Pilot rows.

Related tables for Airline Pilot and Tennessee

Airline Pilot donations holds the $6,657,691 national occupation total and the 2,387-donor count. Tennessee campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to TN. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $191,476, 1,677 contributions, and 63 donors together.
