As far as the the Bro at SKW I was told by A couple Bro pilots that the plan was they were slated to be phased out and replaced by jets/something else until the most recent economic sh!+ storm happened...Just like you said,good luck finding a NG 30-40 seat TP
The E120 never had a complete phasing out plan, just a partial retirement schedule with the intent of replacing (included no date) and the hint of finding a new TP. Remember that many of our E120's were built in the 90's, but that doesn't change the fact the many of its parts are no longer being manufactured.

We'll see but I'm certain that a NG 30-50 seat TP will hit the market in the next 3-5 years. JMHO.
