Federal Aviation Administration contributions received by NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION PAC

A federal agency string meeting a controllers’ PAC

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION as employer and NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION PAC as recipient describe a workforce that often lists the agency on Schedule A while giving to a union PAC. The employer grouping totals $16,039,031. Committee C00238725 received $14,670,266 of that grouping across 145,065 contributions—about 91% of the labeled employer total. One hundred forty-five thousand lines is a high-volume pattern, in the same family as Honeywell and IBEW Local 98 COPE cells.

Dollars per line average about $101 ($14,670,266 ÷ 145,065). That mean is consistent with repeated small itemized gifts, including PAC payroll deduction. The packet does not confirm deduction, NATCA membership, or current FAA employment. It reports the overlap of two FEC labels.

FAA as employer text, not an appropriation

Staff who typed DOT, Department of Transportation, or a facility name (a TRACON, a center) sit in other keys if the string differs. CONTRACTOR and RETIRED are other keys. The $16,039,031 total is FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION as stored.

About $1,368,765 of the employer grouping ($16,039,031 − $14,670,266) went to committees other than C00238725. That leftover is FAA-coded individual receipts that did not go to NATCA PAC. The industry hub still matters for those other recipients. Hatch Act questions are not adjudicated here.

C00238725, NATCA PAC

Labor PACs raise from a restricted class under FEC rules that differ from Super PACs. Those rules explain how a high line count and a ~$101 mean can coexist. This page does not list NATCA PAC’s candidate contributions. The $14,670,266 is receipts into C00238725 from FAA-coded individuals, not the PAC’s disbursements.

Other employers on C00238725—controllers who listed NATCA as employer, a contractor tower operator, or a different agency—are outside these 145,065 rows. The committee hub is the all-employer view. Independent expenditures, if any, are outside the source note.

Controller PAC receipts are not FAA contracts

FEC individual contributions do not fund USAspending awards to aviation contractors, NextGen vendors, or airport grants. An FAA-related vendor in a contract file is a different dataset. Correlation of aviation words across sites is not causation. Public-employee political activity rules are outside this table.

Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Cite $14,670,266, 145,065 contributions, $16,039,031, and C00238725. Keep both sides named: Federal Aviation Administration as employer text, NATCA PAC as recipient.

Linked hubs

The Federal Aviation Administration industry page holds the $16,039,031 employer total. The NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION PAC page holds C00238725 receipts from every employer and is the place to look for PAC disbursements that are not in this join. All industries and all FEC ties collect neighboring federal-employer-to-union-PAC pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this 145,065-line cell.

91.5 percent is $14,670,266 of $16,039,031. The leftover $1,368,765 is FAA-coded money on other committees. 145,065 lines at about $101 each sit with other high-volume PAC patterns as a shape, not as stacked counts. Unique donors are not listed. The packet does not confirm NATCA membership or deduction.

DOT, a facility name, or CONTRACTOR are other keys. Hatch Act questions are not adjudicated. PAC disbursements to candidates are outside $14,670,266. Independent expenditures, if any, are outside the source note.

Cite FEC.gov for $14,670,266, 145,065 contributions, $16,039,031, and C00238725. Public-agency employer text is not an appropriation. Do not treat 91.5% as FAA treasury money or as NextGen or airport awards on USAspending. Keep both sides named: Federal Aviation Administration as employer, NATCA PAC as C00238725.

Researchers who need names behind the 145,065 contribution lines must leave this prose page for the committee and industry tables. This tie only publishes the overlap: $14,670,266 coded to FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION and received by NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION PAC (C00238725), against an employer grouping of $16,039,031. About 91% of that grouping is here; $1,368,765 is not. Dollars per line average about $101. That ratio is arithmetic on the packet facts, not a typical gift and not a legal finding. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and USAspending awards remain outside the join. Cite FEC.gov. Agency employer text is not an appropriation.

Questions

How much did FAA-coded donors give NATCA PAC?

FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $14,670,266 coded to the Federal Aviation Administration employer grouping and received by NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS ASSOCIATION PAC (C00238725). That join covers 145,065 contributions. The broader FAA employer total is $16,039,031. These figures are not independent expenditures.

Did the FAA donate $14,670,266?

No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field is Federal Aviation Administration, not an agency appropriation. This page does not verify current federal employment or PAC deduction. It reports the labeled join to committee C00238725 only.

What share of FAA-coded FEC money went to NATCA PAC?

About 91% of the $16,039,031 Federal Aviation Administration employer total is in this join: $14,670,266 to C00238725. About $1,368,765 went to other committees. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding about solicitation or Hatch Act compliance.

Why are there 145,065 contributions?

The packet lists 145,065 itemized contribution lines totaling $14,670,266, about $101 per line. That volume is consistent with repeated small gifts, including PAC deduction, but the packet does not confirm the mechanism. Unique donors are not listed. Independent expenditures are not in this join. Use the C00238725 hub for PAC disbursements.
