Some information that may be useful (and might save Oxford, CTC, and FTE from answering similar questions many times):
I emailed them to ask whether candidates with a PPL and some (or all) ATPL groundschool exams were eligible and received the following replies:
CTC Wings:
Dear DiamondC,
Thank you for your email and your interest in the BA FPP. All of the information that we currently have available can be found online via
British Airways Pilot Training | Future Pilot Programme | Airline Pilot Training | CTC Wings . As and when we have more information we will update the website accordingly. You can sign via the online form for an email to be sent to you when the application process opens in the near future.
The BA FPP is aimed at those starting their training from ab initio, as yet, we have not formalised the requirements and are unable to give you further details on whether candidates with current qualifications and training will be accepted onto the programme. However as and when we do know, our website will be updated.
We look forward to hopefully receiving an application from you for the programme.
Kind Regards
CTC Wings Selection
Oxford:
Dear DiamondC,
This is an integrated course, which would mean if you were selected you would have to contact the CAA re having any currently held ATPL theory exams voided so you could start the whole course all over.

Team Leader – Training Sales
FTE:
Dear DiamondC,
BA is aiming at recruiting cadets with no previous experience or low hours. However, you are welcome to apply as soon as BA announces that their application process has commenced.
BA will soon announce when and for what period the airline will accept applications for the Future Pilot Programme (FPP) via their on-line application system. We recommend you keep an eye on both the BA FPP and FTEJerez websites over the next few days.
As this period is likely to be fairly short, you are advised to apply as soon as possible. We also recommend that you ensure that you allow sufficient time to carefully complete the questionnaire and that you do so in a quiet area where you can fully concentrate on the task at hand.
Your application will, as a first step, be screened to ensure that you meet all BA’s initial entry criteria. If you are successful in the initial part of the selection and have chosen FTEJerez to do you training, you will be invited to attend our assessment centre at Coventry in the UK. More details regarding this will be provided at a later stage.
Successful candidates will subsequently be invited to attend the final BA FPP assessment at the BA Recruitment Centre near Heathrow.
BA’s FPP scheme will be highly sought after and very competitive. In the event you do not meet the criteria for this particular scheme, you can still pursue you dream of becoming an airline pilot. FTE has close ties to many prominent airlines and our graduates are highly regarded and are regularly offered positions with them.
Best regards,
FTE Sales Team
