Desmond's not jumping through time. He's on the plane because he never went to the Island. If Penny Widmore doesn't exist, he never went sailing around the world, either.

Corwood,
I think people are questioning why Desmond was there and then he disappeared. We never did see him again. Was he a passenger or moving through time like he did in 2005 when the hatch went kablooey.

Oh, ok. I just figured that he moved to another part of the plane. But the way the show works, y'all are probably right to assume that whatever the most convoluted answer we have is, it isn't convoluted enough to be right.

Charlie saying "I was supposed to die" sort of makes me think that the "reset" timeline is an illusion.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I loved seeing the events of the "original" timeline play out past the plane crash. Yes, Rose and Bernard are awesome, but she's still sick. Kate's still a fugitive. Jack's father is still dead. Locke's still in a wheelchair. Jin and Sun are still having problems.
I wonder if Sayid will find Nadia, and what Sawyer will do.

When Desmond was seeing Charlie dying over and over in different ways and saving him (before the Looking Glass), perhaps he was jumping to different timelines - so the Desmond on the plane doesn't have to be the Desmond from the timeline in which the bomb went off and the island sank.
So sad seeing Sun and Jin back where they were before the plane crash. Jin was plotting for them to disappear in LA rather than carrying out her father's wishes, right? But Sun didn't know that, and he was still kind of a jerk, so of course she has no reason to help him.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What is even happening?
Well, wait, we do. Well...maybe. Because Jacob was dead—according to Jacob—and the healing spring was dirty, which was likely associated with Jacob's death. And Sayid may or may not be possessed by Jacob. So...there are a number of Jacob-related cues that point to their being back on the regular timeline, but I wouldn't discount the possibility of their being behind or ahead of Ben and the rest.
Additionally, Cindy told the other Templars that our Losties were on the "first plane." The second would be Ajira 316. (I don't think she's counting Yemi's plane because that crashed before 815 did).

Excellent, Cindy. The paradox situation totally makes sense.
