Lech Kaczyński was only the President they don't actually run the country.
The secretaries and heads of departments, ie the others guys on that plane actually really run the country. Ministers are just transitory and only make policy, they do not govern.
I honestly don't know if you can just "replace" a civil servant at that level of government. Bringing in a new guy that lacks experience isn't the same. Replacing basically the entire head of the government which is represented in those people and the years of experience is more of a blow for Poland than the loss of a mere president.
