From TFA:
"it displays information required by crew members to manage their rosters and work lives in a single app.
The app is particularly popular among the large number of ‘reserve’ flight attendants at American Airlines because it gives them more control over their schedules, and the app has other features such as a calculator to make sure crew are working to legal limits."

Rule #1-1: especially if your product adversely affects the other business.
Rule #1-2: especially if the other business is much larger than yours.

Yeah, this was what I was trying to understand. This makes it sound like the app could be a daily listing of flights they need to work. Is that all it is?

The article suggests this is a single app which offers a single entry point into many disparate systems, which currently flight attendants have to access individually in order to do their jobs.
