Pilot contributions received by ACTBLUE

Two keys, one cell: Pilot and ACTBLUE

The relationship is a text match plus a committee ID. Pilot is the occupation string. C00401224 is ACTBLUE. Together they equal $1,324,329 from 36,088 contributions. That is the headline number.

PILOT is the occupation string on this ACTBLUE join. Other recipient committees that stored the same string sit in the occupation remainder, not on this dollar line. Certificate class is not a packet field.

Why $1,324,329 is not $11,039,454

$1,324,329 cannot equal $11,039,454 unless every stored Pilot dollar went to C00401224. Here the share is 12.0%, so $9,715,125 sits elsewhere. That is expected on a two-dimension page.

Canonical path /ties/pilot-to-actblue/ is the explanation URL. Overlay /committees/C00401224/ points at the committee page.

How 36,088 receipts produced $1,324,329

$1,324,329 / 36,088 ≈ $37. That identity is the volume signature of this cell. High line counts with small means are common on conduit-style individual receipt files; this packet does not classify committee type beyond ID C00401224 and name ACTBLUE.

Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file if the overlay disagrees.

Volume signature for Pilot × ACTBLUE: $1,324,329 on 36,088 lines, mean $37, 12.0% of the $11,039,454 occupation book. $9,715,125 (88.0%) remains with other committees that stored PILOT. Those other recipients are not named here because they are not in the packet. Repeat itemization can raise 36,088 without a published person count. Do not treat the line count as a workforce census or as unique donors. Cycle year is unpublished, so $1,324,329 is not assigned to a single election night.

Itemized individual receipts only

Missing from the packet: unique donor counts, party split, unitemized totals, independent expenditures, cycle year, and any USAspending figure. Present: $1,324,329, 36,088 contributions, $11,039,454 occupation total, committee C00401224, string PILOT.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. Researchers who need a profession-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the occupation index rather than assume $11,039,454 is complete.

This join is self-reported aviation occupation. It is not an FAA certificate census, an airline PAC, or a recode of Captain. Neighboring occupation strings—Airline pilot, captain, and aviator—stay off $1,324,329 unless the stored text was exactly PILOT. FEC itemized individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. Sharing a geography or a famous name does not merge the ledgers. Quote $1,324,329 as receipts tagged PILOT and attributed to C00401224, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Motive, party split, and employer names are not packet fields.

Snapshot versus live overlay

JSON copy is written once from a packet. Hubs can refresh. If the live committee overlay shows a different Pilot total than $1,324,329, use the live overlay and FEC.gov. The canonical path for this explanation is /ties/pilot-to-actblue/.

The body facts remain: PILOT × C00401224 = $1,324,329, 36,088 contributions, 12.0% of $11,039,454. No other dollars are authorized.

Authorized dollars for this join are $1,324,329 in itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures and not federal awards. The occupation hub total $11,039,454 is every harvested committee for PILOT, not a restatement of C00401224. Contribution count 36,088 should be cited with the dollar cell so the mean $37 is visible. Unique donors are unpublished. FEC.gov is the originating public record. This /ties/pilot-to-actblue/ path explains the occupation × committee overlap only.

Sibling strings beside PILOT

Airline pilot, captain, and aviator remain other occupation pages. Do not add those pages into $1,324,329 or $11,039,454. Exact string PILOT is the occupation key. Exact ID C00401224 is the committee key.

This page is an occupation × committee join, not a donor biography. Unique donors are unpublished. Names are not in the facts and are not invented here.

Keep Pilot × C00401224 on /ties/pilot-to-actblue/ so the occupation hub and the ACTBLUE overlay can stay general. Mixing $1,324,329 into either hub’s headline would hide the join. Overlay /committees/C00401224/ is the committee table. The occupation hub still holds $9,715,125 outside this committee. All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

The occupation string PILOT is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Committee C00401224 is the recipient key. Other committees that received the same occupation string sit in the remainder $9,715,125, not on this dollar line.

36,088 is a contribution count, not a unique-donor count. Unique donors are unpublished in this packet and are not invented here.
