I have only regional airline training to compare to, but I would say it was a level above. We also received some training in self defense and water ops with the rafts in the pool etc..
There were delays in training, but in my opinion welcome breaks between phases, ie a week or two off here and there, including over xmas and new years.
My experience is over a year and a half ago though so not very current. Today, I think people are doing Computer Based Training for systems, but I suspect that is industry wide now.
You want to know who has a minimal program? I've heard Spirit is 6 weeks start to finish. 4 sims.
