Personally, I don't see that statement as a good thing...
First of all, it isn't like you are paying off the DPEs to pass you. I personally see nothing wrong with a 90 day course. It keeps you focused and committed to your goal. Plus, it isn't like the students who complete the 90 day course are going straight to an airline job. If you want to talk about low experience, look at the guys who come from Mesa's program and go into the right seat at 300 hours. This guys whose post you read, probably came to ATP with no ratings at all and did the pvt program plus the 90 day program. Why is a 757/767 pilot for UPS hanging out in the flight training forum anyway?
