Lets not kid ourselves, Comparing the training and career progression of a doctor and a pilot is ludicrous. Do you see any 90 day accelerated training programs for doctors? 
The fact of the matter is that plenty of guys go through the ATP programs and make just as good a pilot as myself who took 3 years to get my first pax flying gig.
I would challenge anybody out there to find a doctor that finished school in less than a year. (Doogie Howser doesn't count)

And I don't care what ANYBODY says. 90 days to go from 0 to CFI/I/MEI is LUDICROUS.

90 days from 0 hours to CFI/I/MEI is acceptable. Its the next 1000+ hours we should be concerned about.
I'm in favor of requiring 135 IFR mins for all applicants for 121 F/O jobs. Thats not set in stone. I'm willing to entertain higher flight hour requirements - maybe even ATP hours and rating to be a 121 pilot. Why not? Airline Transport Pilot - makes sense to me the novice looking in...
Unfortunately, there has to be a movement at the pilot level to make changes to preserve the profession you have all decided on.

They don't give tickets to any moron with money and a heartbeat. They give it any moron that can fly to established FAA standards.
