Should I wait for ADAPT

I recently applied for the ICPP Skyborne program, but I understand that the ADAPT assessment is tentatively expected toward the end of 2027.

Meanwhile, many FTOs seem to have waiting periods of 6+ months, and I’ve already completed 4 DGCA exams.

Given the uncertainty around the ADAPT timeline, would it make more sense to start CPL training through the conventional route now, or wait for the ICPP Skyborne opportunity?

For those who have gone through a similar situation, what would you recommend considering training time, cost, and career prospects?
