7. 'Hot room'

Otherwise known as on-premise reserve, standby reserve, and “the couch,” but most accurately described as hell. The hot room at the airport is where they stick reserve flight attendants for a block of time so that the airline can use them at will.
If you’ve got a delayed flight and your flight attendant rolls in late, chances are she was just pulled from “the couch” five minutes before to cover the position. And she will be prepared to go to China or Africa with no prep time.
