It used to take 2000 to 3000 hours and 250 hours of multi time to get on with a regional. You build the time as people always have in the past. You instruct, fly part 91/135, cargo ect... I can suggest if you find instructing for two years to much of a hassle perhaps the career is not for you.
Nothing has changed other than the pay is much better once you reach a regional.
