BPEC
Ask yourself what you enjoy academically and want to study to a higher level. What intrigues you and interests you, and in what do you achieve best results.
When Mr. Interviewer asks ,"so BPEC, why did you choose that degree subject," you look better stating 'X interests me greatly, and I wanted to take my studies to a higher level in university. This course gave me many module options and was a well run course at a respected university' rather than, "I did aero eng because I wanted to fly (no disrespect)." Take onboard these guys' advice and do it if it interests you because you can be a pilot with any degree (or none).
Don't consider the 'what would be best for flying' question so long as your degree is academic in nature (ie history, economics, chemistry, engineering and not BSc basket weaving). With drive and enthuiasm, and enough to say about you life and experiences you can tie in examples from any degree to meet the required qualities.
