BA FPP website says:

You will need:

5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English Language, Mathematics and a Science (single or double award), excluding General Studies.

PLUS

either 3 A-Levels at Grades BBC or above, excluding General Studies.
or an Honours Degree at 2:2 (or higher) or a pass (or above) in a higher degree such as MSc, MA, MPhil, DPhil, PhD, MBA
If you are only predicted to get the above, then that's not the same thing as actually having the above. The question has been asked before, and the answer is that BA doesn't accept predicted grades.

But worry not, the BA FPP will run this year and for at least the next couple of years beyond that. Clearly this cannot be 100% guaranteed (nothing can be - particularly in this industry), but all the evidence suggests it:

1) IAG's growth strategy hasn't changed from a few years ago - they are still expanding their fleet and still foresee a need for more pilots in the future.
2) BA originally suggested that they'd be recruiting on the FPP at least until 2016, and haven't since suggested otherwise.
3) All the FTO's involved are pretty certain that the FPP is going to continue as originally planned.
4) All the BA staff I've spoken to (including some very senior captains), have suggested that they know of no reason why the FPP would not continue as originally planned.

Hope it's helpful.
