Leading Edge LEAP+FI, & TUI UK Pilot Cadet Programmes

Hey all,

Figured I'd start a thread on these two programmes as I've only been able to find a few mentions of the LEAP+FI one so far.

Has anyone applied for either of these programmes yet?

LEAP+FI is offering a full ride, minus day to day living expenses, with a 2 year bond as an FI with them after training. You'd end up with ATPL(f) + FI ratings.
TUI UK to cover training fees upfront, with repayments made from salary over a number of years. MPL here though. Cadet just needs to cover D2D expenses same as above.

I've gone for both, and whilst i'd prefer to end up with an ATPL(f), for the flexibility, TUI's offer also looks good considering it's a direct route the RH seat of a 737. Just consious of the usual concerns around MPL routes and just how quickly you'll be dropped when sh*t hit's the fan... support Leading Edge would do the same though if things got tough for them...?
