That's assuming the guy lives in the part of the country that's not susceptible to bad weather all the time. Up here in the Northeast, we tend to run into dense fog, thunderstorms, and icing conditions. Unless the guy moves down to somewhere like FL or AZ, he can be looking at double or triple your timeline. And not every region of the country have as much aviation training going on. And not everyone can afford to move down to FL or AZ and solely depend on a CFI pay (which, from what I hear, sucks).
