Yes. 6 lessons is tough. I think 6 is tough enough for just a SIC type. It's really asking a lot for a ATP/PIC type ride for a guy who never flew the Saab, and exponentially so for someone with no 121 turboprop experience.
Back in the day when places like Eagle hired 250 hour pilots they bent over backwards to get those guys all sorts of extra training. I'm not sure if they still do that at some places or not. If some places still do that I think that might be a much safer bet for pilots with no turboprop experience. I'm just putting that out there for new guys to think about. Something to consider. ..
