i totally agree..

in other countries, it normally take a yr part time to get ppl, another for CPL, half yr for C cat, plus 1 yr of waiting here and there looking for instructing job.

If lucky to find one at a busy flying school, about 1 yr to get B cat, else 2 to 3 yrs. Then after getting about 500 hours in single engine, move on to twin engine instructing for another 4 to 5 yrs to clock 1500hr PIC total before any airline will look at your CV.

All in all is about 6 to 10 years depending on luck, capability and good PR.

If you were to tell those guys that you have landed yourself with a cadetship with some airliner and you'll be flying a heavy after about 2 years of training... you just look at their facial expression.
