What? you don't like the idea of a pilot, check that, a future 121 Captain, having experience making real decisions while keeping a schedule?

Instructing is great. I learned more about manipulating an airplane in the first 100 hours of instructing than I did in 1000 hours of doing anything else.

BUT, my flight school still had limits on when I could fly, where, and when. It wasn't until I flew a Caravan hauling boxes that I learned about flying a line.

When I am on a hiring team hiring a civilian pilot, CFI or aerobatic pilot (for airmanship) AND scheduled flying (for real world experience) are tops on my list.

So sorry if you think the 2-3 years it takes to get that experience is too long.
