BECAUSE IT WOULDNT HAVE ALLOWED FOR A SHOCKING PLOT TWIST AND SHE KNEW IT.

I'm almost positive characters in movies are written to know they're in a movie, and know if there's going to be a sequel and whether or not they'll be in it.  Just look at horror movies!  Any normal person wouldn't go down in the dark, scary cellar alone, but there are conventions that have to be met, and the character KNOWS that.

Because THAT is how they did it in the comic.  And they couldn't follow the actual comic in the movie...

Besides, it wasn't a jet, she was on her way back from space, and cosmic radiation and shit.

This is fairly old, but I'm told it sums up the Jean Gray business pretty well.
