It is a program that runs on your PC (no web-based, no servers). It uses IE to access the pilot website and do selected things (open time, jumpseats, trip trades, mainframe, etc). For auto-jumpseats and auto-trip trades, you pre-load your choices, do a time check and then it counts down and executes at 'the appointed hour'.
