I think the process of obtaining a CPL should be restructured. 90 days may be sufficient for the flying portion, but as i have said before, the academic portion of becoming a pilot is incredibly inadequate. I know quite a few of these 90-day wonders, and they fly as well as anyone. Its their knowlegde that lets them down. For example; once i came into my flightschool and there were 5-6 CFI's trying to understand a simple electrical schematic ...for a BE-76(!). These guys just could'nt figure it out. How would they? They had 90 days to complete a course. I think a pilot should be educated well enought to be ready to work, fresh out of the box. make it a 4 year BS, or incorporate some sort of 1y+ academic license/test that cannot be "gleimed". self study will keep costs down. Instructors need to be experienced pilots with proper pay. New pilots need to be paid properly (to factor in their investment and dedication). What kind of pay do you expect when you graduate from a 90 day course? what are you worth?
