Chinook Helicopters is poor quality FTU with low quality instructors.

You get out of Chinook what you are willing to put in. When I was there, those who were keen were treated well. Those who wanted a license cuz it was cool... they got a license. The problem with chinook is not low quality instructors, it is low quality students.

low quality students come from low quality instructors, they mess with control inputs in an attempt to control the aircraft to make the student look bad to get them to buy more hours

That's some shady bs. No one I know flew more than 101 - 102 hours to get their license so how exactly is an instructor purposely making a student look bad generating more hours. In fact I found the opposite, the instructors wanted you to excel because the flying got more fun. Think less circuits more confined space, mountain, helipad. Instructors will manipulate the controls your whole career its kind of their job get used to it.

Or maybe your Mom told you that you are the greatest only for you to find out that you're not. If the instructor was grabbing the controls it's probably cause he or she didn't want to be a statistic. Don't forget you could request a different instructor as you are the customer. Maybe it's time to grow up a bit.
