Pilots to fly them take a considerable time to train. Up to 2 years I would suggest.
It depends on previous experience/type rating but a Boeing conversion course for someone with prior Boeing experience is well under a month followed by sectors with a training captain. A variable feast but certainly nowhere near two years.

Certainly there is a case to find a way to avoid altogether or drastically reduce the number of redundancies with some creative thinking.
