American Airlines political money — 2012 cycle

What 2012 holds for American Airlines

5.79% of $6,427,635 sits in 2012: $372,365. The leftover $6,055,270 (94.2%) lives in other windows. Treating 2012 as the entire American Airlines FEC story would ignore most of the parent book. AMERICAN AIRLINES is grouped employer text, not American Airlines Group as a treasury filer. AMERICAN AIRLINES INC, AA, and AMR spellings can be other keys.

This page keeps American Airlines and 2012 named together so neither hub is mistaken for the join.

What sits outside $372,365

If the overlay disagrees with $372,365, 507, or 149, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Live hubs override this snapshot.

Unitemized gifts never appear. Independent expenditures by committees that received AMERICAN AIRLINES-coded money are other filings.

Inside the 2012 two-year window

FEC cycle 2012 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2012. Inside that clock, American Airlines is one employer/occupation grouping among many. The 2012 election cycle hub shows other strings in the same window. This page keeps American Airlines and 2012 named together so neither hub is mistaken for the join. 507 contributions and 149 donors are counts on itemized receipts grouped to AMERICAN AIRLINES in that window, not a workforce census.

AMERICAN AIRLINES is grouped employer text, not American Airlines Group as a treasury filer. AMERICAN AIRLINES INC, AA, and AMR spellings can be other keys. The American Airlines 2012 overlay is the overlay. The American Airlines industry page is the parent grouping. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census. All FEC ties lists other joins.

Arithmetic of leftover $6,055,270

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $372,365 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.

Unitemized gifts and corporate treasury schedules are outside $372,365. LobbyVault does not treat 149 unique donors as a headcount of everyone associated with AMERICAN AIRLINES in 2012. Mean gift size near $734 and mean per donor near $2,499 are ratios on this presidential-year cell. They are not a 10-K political-activity line. Small donor counts (149 on this cell) raise concentration. They still do not authorize invented names.

Four packet links for American Airlines and 2012

Internal links go to American Airlines 2012, the American Airlines industry hub, the 2012 election cycle, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The overlay lists disclosed names and recipient committees. The industry hub holds $6,427,635. The cycle hub holds other employer strings in 2012.

A complete citation: receipts grouped to AMERICAN AIRLINES in FEC cycle 2012 total $372,365 from 149 donors and 507 itemized contributions, 5.79% of the all-cycle total of $6,427,635. The leftover outside 2012 is $6,055,270, or 94.2%. Cite FEC.gov. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

AMERICAN AIRLINES is grouped employer text, not American Airlines Group as a treasury filer. AMERICAN AIRLINES INC, AA, and AMR spellings can be other keys.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

Dollar figures first: $372,365 in 2012, $6,427,635 all-cycle, 149 donors, 507 lines. Then the caveat: grouped text, itemized only, FEC.gov.

American Airlines × 2012 is a join page. Quote $372,365 only with both sides named. The presidential-year window labeled 2012 is not interchangeable with adjacent even-year clocks. 507 itemized lines and 149 unique donors are extract counts. Sibling keys mentioned as possibilities are not totals on this page. FEC.gov bulk files remain the underlying source; LobbyVault publishes grouped aggregates. American Airlines × 2012 totals $372,365 from 149 donors and 507 lines, about 3.4 lines per donor. That repeat rate is higher than Wells Fargo’s 2012 cell on this slice. Mean gift size near $735 is arithmetic on 507 lines.

Restating the arithmetic without new claims: $372,365 ÷ 507 ≈ $734 per line; $372,365 ÷ 149 ≈ $2,499 per donor; $6,427,635 − $372,365 = $6,055,270 outside 2012 (94.2% of the parent). None of those identities are named here.
