Independent expenditures are excluded. Cycle year and carrier split (legacy versus regional) are not in the packet. Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file.

Amended Schedule A filings move $3,390,602 and $6,657,691. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What 50.9 percent does not prove

A dollar majority-adjacent share is not proof that most airline pilots belong to ALPA or give to the PAC. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Other occupation strings for the same job sit outside $6,657,691.

Do not rank carriers. Employer airline names are a different FEC field. This join is occupation plus committee ID.
