The reason I said commanding a ship is a step backward is usually higher positions mean you are commanding more people. From what I've seen, Atlantis has more people than a 304. But, I realize I'm putting WAY too much real life into the situation And, I do agree it would be pretty cool to see Sam on a ship.
"OK, it's time for plan B."
"Do we have a plan B, Sir?"
"No. But it's time for one."
The war is going badly (hence the big cliff hanger at the end of season 4). The SGC sends every available ship to the Pegasus Galaxy. Colonels command the ships, but because there are so many, they need a General to command the fleet. Sam is chosen to command the fleet. Her command takes her away from Atlantis as the fleet travels throughout both galaxies.
