I'm sorry - but you're information is
severely skewed. That's nowhere near the reason that they are ridding themselves of those 2 particular models.
Those models are older a/c within their fleet and simply do not complete the mission as satisfactorily as the other a/c that they offer (CJ3, XLS, Sov). Back when they just flew east of the Mississippi River, the King Airs, CJ1s and Bravos were perfect for that mission. With expanded service areas, they simply did not do the customers, companies, and pilots any good (those companies that still use them). The Bravo is still a great plane, just getting dated within all Fracs' fleets.
To speculate that they sold them due to low sales is simply misinformation that needs to be taken with a
LARGE grain of salt when reading internet posts like this.
