By the way, I don't see anything specific in the rules to suggest that aircraft that choose to remain on CAP at the end of the turn lose the chance to activate (e.g. ground attack) in the next turn. Unless of course during that turn you "carry out an interception action in reaction to an enemy ground attack" (quoting the rulebook). I think it is ambiguous, but IMO according to the RAW it is just like Overwatch. It is certainly odd to phrase it like a choice, hence the ambiguity, but it doesn't actually say you can't activate it next turn.
This has been cleared up before,from the rule book section 4.2

Formations that are on CAP remain on CAP until they make an interception. If they haven’t made an Interception by the end of the turn, then they can either stand down and return to base normally, or remain on CAP into the following turn.
