I always thought that the internetz was specifically designed so people could criticise other's speeling and grammer...
I had a similar experience when job hunting (was an Irish outfit), the MD very excited about new aircraft and jobs, while a staffer was moping about.
Could just have been he didn't want the competition though!
Keep hunting until you find a place that combines a good instructor, with an organisation that cares well for its aircraft and students. There are, I believe, still plenty about, and it's not all doom and gloom in the UK.
