Very few other jobs I can think of require an employee to consult his or her working agreement as frequently as we must. When I'm on reserve, iCrew and an app on my phone should show me:

You must answer your phone between X and Y and check your schedule NLT Z. Click HERE to add a notification alarm.

You are not required to answer your phone between A and B.

You should be in a period of rest between C and D.

The earliest you may be contacted is E.

If you are not contacted prior to F, you will be released. Click HERE to add notification.

You may be legally extended as far as G.

There are H people junior to you in your bucket.

There are J people senior to you in your bucket who currently have yellow slips submitted click HERE to see the parameters they have entered)

You have the following White/Yellow/Green slips active:

Open time trips meeting your parameters are these: (click to view)

...which will be assigned after the displayed time.

You are/are not the most senior pilot with a matching slip submitted.

Click HERE to text your scheduler a question or comment.

Click HERE to open a chat window with your scheduler (all chats will be recorded).

Click HERE to acknowledge and view rotation 1234, which was added to your schedule at WXYZ.

NO NEED to click HERE to make your dead head reservation SINCE THAT HAS AUTOMATICALLY BEEN DONE FOR YOU AND YOUR SEAT PREFERENCES WERE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED; YOU ARE LISTED FOR ANY AND ALL UPGRADES. Your confirmation code for dead head on fight 1235 is ABCDEF, but you need not check in since that will be done automatically when you sign in for your rotation.
