Make the schools have more stringent requirements. Places like All ATP's, Gulfstream Academy, etc. These places are "pilot factories" and will give you a rating if you are willing to pay for it. Any place that can take you from zero hours to the right seat of an airliner in less than 12 months is not teaching you what you need to know to be safe and competent. The Colgan crash happened because the pilots lacked the basic skills required to fly an aircraft. The captain pulled back without adding power to recover from a stall for crying-out-loud.
