2. What do all of the codes on the N6D mean? i.e., "TL", "ML", "MR", "FLY"?
1. Yes. You can Proffer for a trip, RAP, or stby. If your seniority can hold you the trip you will get it. RAPs and stby are preferences and don't have to be awarded in seniority order, although they mostly (in my experience) honor it these days.
2. There are a ton of codes and there's a link on myenvoy that show all of these...but for now TL is Transition Legality, ML Military Leave, MR Military Reserve (I think) and FLY is a rsv on a trip.
