Every crew member has the same group chat problem: half the people in it aren't even on this trip anymore, nobody updates it when plans change, and by the time you land you still don't actually know who's around. Cross Check exists to fix that one specific thing — not build a social network, not another scheduling tool that duplicates what your airline already gives you, just a straight answer to "is anyone I'd want to grab dinner with actually here today."
Connecting crew is the whole point. Keeping that space safe is what makes it worth using.
That second part isn't an afterthought. Every account on Cross Check is verified as real airline crew before they can see or message anyone — no open sign-up, no anonymous browsing, no randoms who "basically" work in aviation. If someone still turns out to be a problem, blocking and reporting them is immediate and permanent, not a request sitting in a queue.
What it's built around
Real crew only. Every account is checked against an actual employee number and scheduling system before it's active.
No ads, no data broker relationships, no selling your information. The privacy policy says exactly what's collected and why.
Flight logging and your schedule work fully offline — because "no signal at 36,000 feet" is a daily reality, not an edge case.
What it isn't
It isn't a replacement for your airline's own scheduling tools, and it isn't trying to be everything at once. It's one narrow, specific job — know who's around, plan something real, keep the people you don't want to see off your radar — done well enough that you'd actually open it on a layover instead of starting yet another group chat.
