Only raps and standbys the standbys will be considered before raps. A standby will not, however, jump up over another flight assignment proffered for.

If you proffer for only standby shifts and RAPs, then they won't even look at your RAP proffers, they will award you the standby shift since that's the how the order of assignments are done. BUT...if you have an actual trip in your proffers, you will get assigned that first before anything else, assuming the actual trip doesn't go to someone senior.
