When you say employed with an airline at Manchester, do you mean as a pilot?
If i had stayed in Leeds i would have trained with LFS not MF but that is just personal opinion. I've only looked around MF once and thought it looked lovely, i thought a lot of other things too but this is not the time or the place for opinions apparently.
Facts we are allowed to do though, so i'd just say both schools are worth looking at. Don't rule LFS out because it's off site or not quite as shinny as MF. Talk to students and instructors and see where you like the feel of.
