Ironically right now it is actually longer, that is what these crazy times have created.

Such crazy movement and training guys as fast as they can to keep up. The 756 was so far behind on training capabilities and catching up on re-qualling guys on the 764 that they couldn't train new guys, whereas the 777 has been just pumping guys through.

They parked the 764s during COVID and most everybody lost their qual. Per an agreement with the FAA they had to get everybody re-qualed on the 764 before the end of the year. That meant getting all the current 756 pilots a 764 sim refresher and then a bunch of LCA time, as every pilot needed 1 764 leg with an LCA to complete the "requal". They finished everybody by November and are now catching up on delayed OE. I think OE is about caught back up to a more normal flow so now guys are getting OE shortly after finishing their sims. Should see some pretty fast movement on the 756 now as well.
