No Survivors in Crash of Flight Carrying Polish Leader

Many companies have policies about not putting more than X senior executives in the same plane... Don't countries have those too?

What happens if Airforce One crashes with the president and his whole cabinet on board? (wait, wasn't there a season of 24 about that?)

There's only a law (in Poland) to avoid the president and the prime minister being on the same plane. Beyond that it's not regulated.

There was already a problem with that before. In 2008 leaders of Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia wanted to fly in one plane to Gruzia. There was some arguing with the pilot who was refusing to fly in that situation (landed in Azerbaijan instead to maintain minimum of security). Yet, they do it again. Even if there is no policy against it, there will be in a month...

for people who might not know, in English, Gruzia is the Republic of Georgia

I thought the vice-president and the president weren't allowed to be on the same plane.

Ah yes, I think you might be right. That was the plot of the 24 episode anyway.

Still, what about the president and everyone except the vice president?
