What? As far as I know, every person I met while training/building time in my first few jobs had 1500 and were at a regional in well under 2 years. I did it in 14 months. It’s no where remotely close to “nearly impossible”.
Where were you learning to fly and build time? My next push will be to advocate for 2500tt to sit at a regional.
