I dont understand what the problem is. Its not the number of seats in the plane that drives the time requiremnts. It the insurance company in this instance.

Kings Airs are single pilot and if its in the mountains, single pilot IFR and Air amblulance, Thats gunna be some hard flying at all hours of the days and nights.

King air in general are harder to fly than Jets.

But the funny part is that the number of seats in the aircraft relates directly to how much the insurance company needs to charge to insure the aircraft. And then there's a fine balance to how qualified you need your pilots to keep the insurance premium in check. Number of seats = liability.
