I'm really not sure there will be the numbers for the standby scheme to work. Leaving aside any bad feeling and looking at it from a totally pragmatic point of view, standby has implications for staff that adhoc didn't.
From the point of view of planning family life, the standby duty must be viewed as a full rostered duty.
I really want this situation resolved at this stage, but don't want to feel pressured into signing up just to make it work.
However, I'm getting ahead of myself a little, the ballot hasn't even gone through yet.
