Don't know where you've been looking but. When I met the team at Flyer Live earlier in the year they said
"BA's cadet pilot needs for 2017 and 2018 are being met by FPP cadets currently in training and a small number of CTC whitetails" and that the entire programme and it's structure is under review like most of the airline has been recently since the new management team. BA is not the same as when FPP opened.
You don't have to look far to see BA is hardly worth getting excited about. I would treat FPP opening as a great surprise and apply for EZY or another programme that actually does exist. It's no suprise the FPP forum is so quiet!
All the best.
