There are also quotes by Sheba and Cassie that explain that Commander Caine did not anticipate survival. He even transfered all vipers and non-essential personnel to the Galactica.
If you assume Count Iblis in the later episodes was not lying to Sheba about her seeing her father again and Count Iblis planned on taking her soul then you are also left with the conclusion the only way a "dead" Sheba would see her father was if he also was already "dead".
Fans want the Pegasus to return and the door was left open for the writers, but realistically Commander Caine did not anticipate survival. With no vipers and short on personnel how long the Pegasus could have survived in reality is not very long.
As a fan however I expect to see the Pegasus again!
