Pay verification for ATI pilots · 2026 CBA
Your contract is 300+ pages. Your paycheck is 40 line items. CheckSix proves they match.
Enter your bid-period flying, and a contract-rule engine works the whole thing — the guarantee, the rigs, reserve rules, per diem, the §3.E comparison payroll uses — and ties every dollar to the CBA section it came from.

The rule engine
The app knows the rules most pilots have to look up.
Every credit and every dollar on your check is governed by contract language. CheckSix runs the rules for you, in the order payroll does — then shows its work.
Bid unit guarantee
The BUG floor for the period — and exactly how far above or below it your flying landed.
Trip rig
Credit for time away from base, checked against block time on every trip.
Duty rig
Credit for long duty days where block alone would shortchange you.
Line-value protection
FLV bounds so a rebuilt or disrupted line can't quietly pay less than the line you were awarded.
Reserve rules
Each reserve type credited its own way — including launch overrides when you get used.
Long-duty pay
Duty stretches evaluated against the contract limit, with extra pay when they exceed it.
Deadhead credit
Deadhead legs credited at 50% — tracked separately so they're never lost in the totals.
Per diem
Domestic and international rates applied hour by hour from your duty times.
Class of service
The $250 center-seat penalty payroll owes you when the company books you there.
Supplements
Volunteer, junior assignment, peak, and the rest — credited above the guarantee where the contract says so.
The final comparison
The same comparison payroll runs to pick which method pays your bid unit — shown line by line, winner highlighted.
A quick tour
From day squares to a defensible dollar figure.
01 / CHECKS
See both checks before payroll cuts them.
Two checks per bid period, predicted on the real payroll calendar — so you know what each deposit should be before it lands, not after.
13 bid periods × 2 checks — every one accounted for.
02 / ENTRY
Log a day in seconds — reserve, flying, or deadhead.
Pick the day type, punch in duty times and legs, flag the special cases. Soon you'll paste your schedule straight from IADP and skip the typing.
Works on your phone in the crew room or at the desk at home.
03 / BREAKDOWN
Every line cites its section. Every dollar shows its math.
The breakdown reads like the contract, not like a black box: rule by rule, credit by credit, with the exact CBA section on each line — down to the §3.E comparison that decides what the bid unit pays.
Class of service · R1 long duty · BUG · FLV bound — all on the table.
04 / PROFILE
Your seat. Your hire date. Your rate.
Set your seat, hire date, and equipment in one place. CheckSix uses your seat and hire date to calculate the contract rate for each day.
See your current years of service and CBA rate period before you check your pay.
Why trust it
Built hand-in-hand with an ATI line Captain — and checked against real paychecks.
This isn't a generic airline app with your contract bolted on. The modeled rules come from the 2026 CBA and pilot feedback. Sample paychecks provide regression evidence; coverage notes identify provisions and inputs that still need validation.

The arithmetic
One missed credit hour pays for years of the app.
A single credit hour of Captain pay is worth hundreds of dollars. A rig that didn't get applied, a deadhead credited wrong, a guarantee top-up that never showed up — any one of them costs more than checking ever will. You don't have to catch it. You just have to look.
Fly the trip. We'll audit the check.
