Decision to make...

Hi all, im just looking for your views and advise.

Basically, im currently 17 in year 12 doing my AS, 18 in Sept. I am looking at two options:

1). Applying to an FTO at the end of this year so i can start training once i leave sixth form in summer 2016,
or,
2). Wait until 2017 to apply to the BA FPP, which would be a lot harder to get on to the course.

I will have a PPL by the end of this year, i have work experience with a Private Airline, and have been Head Boy etc, and have been awarded numerous awards. My friend in the year above me has done my 'option 1' and has now left sixth form early to start at OAA on an intergrated route, I however will be finishing my A levels. But im unsure on what to do as waiting to apply to the BA FPP, which may not even be running in 2017, means another two years, and about 6 months after finishing sixth form - although this is an extremely hard course to be selected onto.

Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Thank you
