I seems to me that there is a lot of wasted time in traditional commercial pilot license requirements for someone who is solely intending to fly airlines. My idea would completely remove all VFR training.
The license could be part 121 company and type specific. Students would only study part 121 regs and company ops. Most of the training could be in the sim. VFR, PIC and small piston privileges could be added later.

It's bad enough with ATC not understand why pilots do things, last thing we need is a bunch of numbskull know-it-alls blasting around in the sky with no understanding of what Doctor Jimmy is doing in his Bonanza.
