"(b) For the purposes of subsection (a), an employee shall be deemed to have earned 50 per centum of his compensation in any State or subdivision in which his scheduled flight time in such State or subdivision is more than 50 per centum of his total scheduled flight time in the calendar year while so employed. "(c) For the purposes of this section the term 'State' also means the District of Columbia and any of the possessions of the United States; and the term 'compensation' shall mean all moneys received for services rendered by an employee, as defined in subsection (a) in the performance of his duties and shall include wages and salary."
