BA FPP beyond 2016.

What is the likelihood of BA FPP going beyond 2016/any insider or informed opinion/info?

I'm in my final year for Uni (CTC interview in '13, reached final stage back in '14, didn't have a go at it in '15 for studies sake) and the BA FPP ends up slap bang in the middle of preparing for finals (final stage is only a couple of weeks before exam season). Alongside that there is graduate applications so having the FPP on top of that is...well, utterly brutal.

I know the FPP was scheduled for 5 years initially, running from '11-'16, is a 2017 BA FPP a stretch? Will BA fill in the numbers with cadets from CTC as opposed to opening up the scheme another year?

Graduate applications + Final year studies, utterly crucial + would be beneficial having a year's worth of work experience under my belt (final try for BA) but at the same time it's a risk expecting it to continue on.
