Just throwing this out there. We haven't actually seen much proof that Jin and co. are actually in the past at this point. Sure there is the new Dharma van Jin pulled in, but what if you consider just for a second that Dharma has simply been reactivated!
It's not impossible. Locke's replacement of the wheel could have easily snapped them to the present. It would answer a lot of questions regarding why did Sun, Frank, Locke, and Ben, not wind up in the same time as Jack, Kate, and Hurley. Meanwhile in the 3 years between when they started flashing and the 06 left, it's conceivable that Dharma has reclaimed at least part of the island.
Now, I don't like this theory actually, because I would like to see a Lostie Eye View of the Dharma days. And I believe the season is actually headed towards ending with either a face to face meeting with the "incident" or the purge.
There is also the matter that we have seen Daniel back in the Dharma days, however they of course could all travel together into the past in a future episode, or Daniel (who is by himself at this point) could use the Orchid to travel to the past alone. He was the only one we saw.
I'm just throwing it out there, because it does explain why everyone didn't go to the same time during the 316 crash. The Dharma van could be just misdirection. There's no other proof. Theory by Locke4God
