Jolly's post got me thinking, why not a scientific study of how we plan on visiting the new FDAs. I called the wilson center but they wanted half my 1st months housing allowance. To bad nobody at the MEC thought of this.

True but I'm tired of hearing it will go senior.
I think very few will vounteer for a 3 month STV. The only exception will be senior people who bid consecutive STVs to get the Foreign Income Exclusion, per diem, and hotel room, extra plane Tickets. For example, someone who currently lives in Italy would be crazy to take an FDA if he can hold STVs. Someone who lives in HKG likewise. Much more money this way then $2700 a month.
And the company will not offer voluntary 1 Month STVs because that will eliminate the few people who bid 3 month STVs. Would you bid a three month STV if you could hold 3 one month STVs?

No, you have to word it:
If it looks like the LOA is going to pass, how do you think you will end up in the new FDA's? That way, when we all get sent there kicking and screaming, the company and union can go:
Well 66% of you thought you were going to be sent involuntarily, so really, that was volunteering to go!
