Preface
The concept of employee compensation has been
broadened considerably in the past several decades by the
adoption or liberalization of supplementary pay practices.
Statistics on straight-time wages for time worked no longer
sufficiently approximate the level of employer payments
for hired labor. Therefore, it is important to account
for such outlays as vacation and holiday pay, daily or
weekly overtime and shift differentials, terminal (sever­
ance) pay, contributions to private pension and health and
welfare funds, and payments under legally required insur­
ance programs.
This bulletin analyzes the level and structure of
employer outlays for the compensation of employees, con­
sidering the expenditures for each component as a percent
of total compensation outlays and in cents-per-hour. Fur­
thermore, the relative importance of working and leave
hours as percents of total hours paid for is discussed.
This study of the air transportation industry is
part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics program of studies
of employer expenditures for supplementary compensation
practices.
A list of previously issued reports is found
at the end of this bulletin.
The study was conducted in the Bureau's Office
of Wages and Industrial Relations by the Division of Na­
tional Wage and Salary Income, Norman J. Samuels,
Chief.
The analysis was prepared by Abraham Zucker,
under the supervision of Arnold Strasser.

Compensation Expenditures and Payroll Hours

Air Transportatation, 1964
Sum m ary

The combined expenditures for supple­
ments to straight-time pay for operating em­
ployees amounted to' $4.69 for each hour of
working time, exceeding total compensation
outlays for nonoperating employees by 77
cents.
Expressed differently, pay supple­
ments for flight deck personnel were equal
to lV5 of the total hourly disbursement for
the compensation of nonoperating employees.

In 1964, expen ditu res fo r em p loyee c o m ­

4 The terms workers and em ployees are used synonymously
in this report and, unless otherwise noted, are defined to include
all em ployees in the air transportation industry.
The terms
operating em ployees, flight crew em ployees, and flight deck
em ployees— which are used synonymously in this report are defined
to include pilots, co -p ilo ts, flight engineers, navigators, and
trainees and instructors o f em ployees directly involved in the
in-flight operation o f an aircraft.
Cabin attendants (consisting
mainly of stewards and stewardesses) were classified with all other
em ployees whose work was performed outside o f the cockpit o f an
in-flight airplane, as nonoperating em ployees.
5 A ll companies included in the survey sample were asked
to provide separate data on expenditures for overtim e, weekend,
holiday, and shift premiums. However, most did not report such
outlays separately for operating personnel.
T o the extent that
premium pay for operating em ployees (and consequently— all
em ployees) is understated; straight-time pay for working tim e is
overstated.
In comparison, the gross average hourly earnings (in­
cluding premiums but excluding terminal payments, nonproduction
bonuses, and expenditures in addition to payroll) o f nonsupervisory
em ployees or production workers in industries for which such
data are available, ranged from $1.9 6 an hour in the trade
industries to $ 3 .5 5 in the construction industries. Employment
and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-66 (BLS
Bulletin 1312-4, 1966).

1 Compensation, for the purposes o f this study, is defined
as the sum o f the payments, subject to Federal withholding taxes,
that were made by employers directly to their em ployees before
deductions of any type; and the expenditures made by employers
for legally required insurance programs and private welfare plans
to provide the worker with fu ll- or partial-econom ic security
against a future contingency (e. g. , unemployment, m edical
expenses, e t c .).
2 The air transportation industry includes companies classi­
fied in accordance with the 1957 edition o f the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual and 1963 Supplement; in SIC 451—air trans­
portation, certificated carriers— SIC 4 5 2 -a ir transportation, noncertificated carriers— and SIC 458—fixed facilities and services
related to air transportation.
3 Working tim e includes all paid hours, excluding paid
leave hours. Paid hours consist o f aggregate hours worked, paid
leave hours, rest periods, coffee breaks, and other nonleave hours
(such as those on duty but during which no work was performed)
paid for but not worked for which employers made direct payments
to workers during the year. As leave hours increase proportionately
to total hours, expenditures per hour o f working time differ in­
creasingly from expenditures per paid hour.

GENERAL EXPLANATIONS

Please answer the questions which follow separately for operating and
nonoperating employees. If records do not permit reporting separate
figures for the two groups, and estimates cannot be made, enter a
combined figure and indicate that it is for operating and nonoperating
employees.

Operating Employees are supervisory and nonsupervisory employees
who work aboard moving vehicles, such as bus and taxi drivers;
marine engineers, seamen, cooks; and airline pilots. However, ex­
clude workers who m erely move vehicles to or from loading, main­
tenance, or parking areas and operators of construction equipment
or loading devices such as baggage or forklift trucks.
Reports for
marine cargo handling should treat all pier personnel as operating
employees.
Nonoperating Employees include all supervisory and nonsupervisory
employees not classified as operating employees, such as pumpmen,
shop maintenance employees, and office workers. Reports for pipe­
lines should treat all employees as nonoperating employees.
If the only figure available combines data for several lines on this
questionnaire, report the combined figure and bracket the lines in­
cluded or otherwise indicate what is included in the figure 'reported.
If exact information is not available for an item, where possible please
provide a carefully considered estimate.
If any of the figures r e ­
ported are estimated, please list on page 8 the items which were
estimated and indicate how the estimates were made.

IF NO EXPENDITURES OR MAN-HOURS WERE INVOLVED DURING
1964 FOR A GIVEN ITEM, ENTER " 0 " IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY LINES BLANK.
COMPANIES IN THE AIR TRANSPORTATION, MARITIME, INTER­
CITY BUS, AND LOCAL TRANSIT INDUSTRIES SHOULD READ THE
ACCOMPANYING SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATION SHEET BEFORE
COMPLETING THIS QUESTIONNAIRE.
