I don't know of any non-university ops manager's courses. I think that most ops managers join as ops clerks and work their way up over time.
I believe that City University do a 3-year Air Transport Operations degree, which includes an ATPL as pert of the course. That way, you would be qualified both as a pilot and as a suitable airline management trainee. I don't know the details, but I'm sure that the University supply them. But it's not at Leeds. If you're at Leeds for 3 years for uni, you can always think about changiing your degree.
