Because the Top Brass shouldn't be flying on the same plane at the same time.

OTTAWA–Canada came close to losing its senior military leaders in the near-collision of a government Challenger jet and a commercial jetliner over British Columbia, the Star has learned.If I was Minister of Defence, this incident wouldn't have happened in the first place, as, had I known there was such a practice occuring of putting them all on one plane at once, I'd order such a practice ended immediately, period.
The April incident is now prompting questions why the military allowed its top brass – including the heads of the navy, army and air force – to travel together in the first place, a practice that most large corporations forbid.But the Star has learned the Canadian Forces have no policy on whether commanders should travel apart, a failing that exposes the military to serious risk in the event of an accident, one expert said.
