That is what I have heard also and to add, most ATP students do the 90 day program instead of the self pace Just go through the local school or find a good pt141 pro flight school that is dedicated to your knowlege intake. Remember in the 80s and 90s pilots had to have thousands of hours and a lot of multi-engine time to be considered for regional airline flying, so you're only kidding yourself if you expect to have the experience need by flying a few months.
