Theoretically it’s possible with todays low hiring minimums. Regionals have been taking PC-12 time for a while outside of that but in up until a few years ago single engine turbo prop wasn’t very valuable. That changed when the majors started recognizing U-28s militarized PC-12s as well as military trainers as the equivalent of single engine jet/multi engine turbine time (depending on company). Depending on the rest of the hours, if civilian background, the person in question will probably get picked up quicker by going to a regional.
