With any Colgan base but Manassas I would agree. But as long as Colgan exists (yes I know...see above), I assure you Manassas will be a base. It's the main Mx base, corporate headquarters, and home to the Colgan family. It ain't going anywhere...

Also one other point. The Colgan's got burnt once when the Senator sold the original airline to Presidential...only to see Presidential go belly up two years later. The Colgan's are fiercely independent and hard-nosed and I don't see them selling the airline to anyone...just yet. The five kids have the airline now and they are a pretty determined group. Anything can happen of course...
