to be on standby
waiting for an available seat, often for a flight or event, if one becomes free · ready for immediate deployment or action
What's the situation?
Ever been at the airport, hoping for a last-minute seat on a full flight? 🤞 That's when you're **on standby**! It's also used in broader contexts, like being ready for a task if needed. Think of it as being in "waiting mode" for something awesome (or just a flight home!). ✈️
