Pilot political contributions from Georgia

The Pilot–Georgia intersection

Occupation PILOT and donor state GA produce $568,088, 3,104 contributions, and 134 donors. The occupation hub is $11,039,454, 73,932 contributions, and 2,899 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 5.1%; contribution share about 4.2% (3,104 of 73,932); donor share about 4.6% (134 of 2,899). One hundred thirty-four Georgia donors sit inside 2,899 national PILOT donors. Contribution volume (3,104 of 73,932) is a high-frequency slice of a large occupation.

AIRLINE PILOT, CAPTAIN, and AVIATOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack PILOT with AIRLINE PILOT or CAPTAIN into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

134 Georgia donors produced 3,104 contributions, about 23.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 25.5 rows per donor nationally (73,932 contributions from 2,899 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $183, against about $149 nationwide. Georgia’s $568,088 is address-coded itemized money, not a Hartsfield-Jackson headcount. ATP certificates and type ratings are not in the FEC occupation field.

PILOT as a cockpit occupation string

PILOT is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an FAA certificate, an airline, or a military flying status. The $11,039,454 national total is PILOT only. 2,899 donors produced 73,932 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 73,932 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Seventy-three thousand nine hundred thirty-two national contributions make PILOT a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the Georgia overlap.

Georgia as donor state

134 Georgia donors produced 3,104 contributions totaling $568,088. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia-based domicile, and not a map of which campaigns received the $568,088.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only PILOT. The Pilot occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 94.9% of the $11,039,454. Georgia’s state hub includes every occupation coded to GA. PILOT is only this filter.

What not to infer from Pilot plus Georgia

This page does not count FAA certificate holders, rank airlines, or claim that Pilot-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PILOT is not AIRLINE PILOT even when filers meant a Part 121 seat.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PILOT is not an FAA airman extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Certificate numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Pilot filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national PILOT occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PILOT in every other state combined. That remainder ($10,471,366) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 134 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,104 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $568,088 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the PILOT national total, drops a key. One hundred thirty-four donors producing 3,104 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $568,088 headline.

Related tables

Pilot donations holds the $11,039,454 national occupation total. Georgia campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. AIRLINE PILOT is a different occupation hub if that string exists.

Questions

How much have Pilot donors in Georgia given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation PILOT and state Georgia total $568,088, from 3,104 contributions and 134 donors. Nationwide, PILOT-coded receipts are $11,039,454 from 73,932 contributions and 2,899 donors. Georgia is about 5.1% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these FAA-certificated airline pilots?

The FEC file does not verify certificates. Occupation is the string PILOT and state is GA. One hundred thirty-four donors are not an airman registry. AIRLINE PILOT, if used, sits elsewhere. The 134 Georgia donors used occupation PILOT and state GA. Filers who wrote AIRLINE PILOT or CAPTAIN may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

What share of Pilot FEC money is from Georgia?

About 5.1% of the $11,039,454 occupation total is in this Georgia join ($568,088). Georgia also accounts for about 4.2% of contributions (3,104 of 73,932) and about 4.6% of donors (134 of 2,899). The join is itemized individual money, not an airline seniority list.

Does this money go to Georgia candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Georgia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $568,088 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to GA; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
