I'm curious to know if you work for a regional or major. I find your comments to be completely contradictory with my experience.
Grant it there may be some who are more experienced than me, but my ATP is 47 years old. I have type ratings on the DC9, B727, B757, B767, B777, DC3 and CL-65 earned in that order. I am a current CFII, ASE&ME and Rotorcraft-Helicopter. I have over 25K hours in Douglas and Boeings (mostly Boeings) and about 1500 hours in CRJs. I have no doubt I can checkout a CFI with 1500 hours out in a B767 and have him be competent in no more time (and no less) than a CRJ. On what do you base your comments?
