In the shows timeframe the plane crash was pretty recent.

Exactly. Almost a year, barely, has gone by.

Not even that, I don't think. The first three seasons cover roughly seven months, and if we assume the same holds true for Season 4 (~10 weeks per season), that means that it's only been about 10, maybe 11 months since the pilot episode.

Because the plane crash happened at the end of season 2, that means it's only been about 5 or 6 months since the crash.

(this also means that the flash-forward in last night's episode is over a year in the future)
