Here's an example:



"You must be" for Captain is correct.

The last part "or on leave holding a Captain position" is correct.

The middle part "or have been" is a LIE. This was to bait n' hook for downgraded CAs and future downgraded pilots to still think they have a chance.

Here's Delta's wording:



It's clear only current Captains or leave Captains are eligible, not downgraded CAs that are now FOs. So that having been said, if 9E pilots that are not Captains - the FOs - can't even participate in the SSP then what makes anyone think they will hire RJ FOs from 9E outside the SSP? If they wanted to consider FOs they certainly could within the SSP. Take the hint though that through the SSP they only want Captains, then you can be fairly certain no 9E FO will be hired outside the SSP.
