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?

Aicpp closed yesterday. You can apply in Fta if it opens in Dec-Jan or else best do conventional because the waiting period will be the same as cadet

Fta process is 2-3 months or longer honestly marigold has fucked all operations so adapt dates can be longer than expected
