Look at us over here in Europe. General aviation isn't nearly as popular/developed than what it is in the States, hence the path via CFI work to reach anything wouldn't be viable for student pilots to gain experience, simply because there is no need for 1000+ new CFIs every year.
We simply cut out that middle portion of making it into an airliner. The airlines train most pilots for themselves and boooom - 3 years later you're sitting in the right hand seat. Of course in the US that's a FAA-regulatory issue now with the high hour mins.
