Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 1a · First-class or charter travel
  • 1a · Travel for companions
  • 1a · Housing allowance or residence for personal use
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 1A
PART I - QUESTIONS REGARDING COMPENSATION: 1A FIRST-CLASS OR CHARTER TRAVEL: AFT OFFICERS AND VICE PRESIDENTS MAY FLY FIRST CLASS WHEN THE SCHEDULED FLIGHT TIME IS TWO HOURS OR LONGER. TRAVEL FOR COMPANIONS: IF OFFICERS OR VICE PRESIDENTS WOULD LIKE TO BRING A FAMILY MEMBER OR COMPANION WITH THEM ON TRAVEL AND THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A FIRST CLASS TICKET, THEY MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE AFT "CONVERSION" POLICY. UNDER THIS POLICY, THEY ARE ENTITLED TO AIRFARE UP TO THE COST OF A SINGLE FIRST CLASS TICKET. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEIR FIRST CLASS TICKET FOR A TRIP WOULD COST $1,000, THEY CAN CONVERT THE TICKET TO COACH CLASS AND AFT WOULD COVER THE COST OF AN ADDITIONAL COACH TICKET FOR A COMPANION UP TO A TOTAL OF $1,000. AS LONG AS THE COST OF THE COACH TICKETS IS EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THE COST OF THE SINGLE FIRST CLASS TICKET, AFT WILL PAY FOR THE TICKETS. HOUSING ALLOWANCE OR RESIDENCE FOR PERSONAL USE: THE AFT OFFICERS RECEIVE A MONTHLY HOUSING ALLOWANCE.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
