Pilot occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Pilot as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation PILOT and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $369,721 ($369,721), 550 contributions, and 283 donors. 3.3% of Pilot occupation dollars ($11,039,454) fall in 2014. 2014 is a midterm aviation-title cell: 550 receipts from 283 donors, a one-word PILOT slice of an occupation total above eleven million.

Pilot is a one-word aviation title as typed, not a certificate recode. Nearby strings — AIRLINE PILOT, CAPTAIN, AVIATOR, and COMMERCIAL PILOT — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $369,721 or $11,039,454. Airline Pilot and Commercial Pilot, if stored, remain other occupation keys. The FEC file does not verify an ATP, a type rating, or an airline seniority number.

The PILOT string across cycles

On the occupation side, $11,039,454 ($11.0 million) is the Pilot total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 3.3% of that roll; the remaining $10,669,733 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Pilot is not an FAA registry dump and not a named-carrier headcount. Pilot is not an FAA airman extract, an ALPA membership roll, or an airline seniority list.

Open Pilot donations for the $11,039,454 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 550 itemized contributions map to 283 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $672; dollars per donor average about $1,306. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Pilot row. 283 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $369,721.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $369,721 attached to 2014 and $11,039,454 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($10,669,733) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $369,721 with both nouns: Pilot and 2014.

What a Pilot cycle join cannot claim

Matching Pilot with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Pilot donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an FAA airman extract, an ALPA membership roll, or an airline seniority list.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $369,721. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked pilot hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Pilot donations holds the $11,039,454 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Pilot. All occupations places PILOT beside other titles without merging sibling strings (AIRLINE PILOT, CAPTAIN, AVIATOR, and COMMERCIAL PILOT). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $369,721 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Pilot dollars ($11,039,454). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $369,721, 550 contributions, 283 donors, 3.3% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $369,721; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $11,039,454. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Pilot-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Pilot grouping’s 2014 cell is $369,721 in itemized individual contributions, from 550 contributions and 283 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $11,039,454 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Pilot mean airline captains?

The stored string is PILOT with no certificate class. Airline Pilot, Commercial Pilot, and Captain are other keys if filers used those words. This join does not check an FAA airman certificate or recode those titles into PILOT. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Pilot in 2014 is $369,721 on 550 receipts from 283 donors.

What share of Pilot FEC money fell in 2014?

About 3.3%. $369,721 divided by $11,039,454 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $10,669,733 on the occupation hub. See the Pilot occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Pilot 2014 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $369,721 is itemized receipts tagged PILOT in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
