You don't get bootcamps for doctors or airline pilots.

There are essentially bootcamp programs to get pilot licenses. Most people I know who have or were pursing a license would do a couple hour class once a week or so, but you can also sign up for bootcamp style courses where you do a focused, 8ish hours a day, 5 day a week program for a month or so and assuming all goes well, end up with a pilot license. Of course, a license doesn't get you a airline job, you'll need to do additional training and acquire flight hours.

Software jobs don't have hours requirements like many professional fields (usually through license requirements), so that makes it a lot easier to get in.
