Do BA even recruit graduates who aren't on the FPP
In theory yes, but the only cadet entry to BA would be through CTC (not OAA or any other FTO). Although, if I'm honest I feel that is a fairly long shot that they will pick up any extras outside the FPP. It's up to you whether you want to wait a year (no guarantees on the exact time frame though) and give the FPP a go, it can't hurt though as you sound like you could always do OAA as a backup.
