I remember people being hired at regionals that were flying the line 6 months after their first training flight in a piston.

With all that said I don’t things will ever be that way again unless it’s a program like the European airlines do.
I did that, but due to a shortage of DPE's, it took five months. Needless to say, I decided to flight instruct at a busy 141 school to let all that I learned to register and sink in. Looking back, it was faster than ideal.
