My guess junior CA on SFO reserve, maybe hot reserve, gets short notice call out and didn't get to review the docs until cruise flight. Actually sounds like they got all the way to JAC, so he probably figured it out while setting up for the arrival. Better late than never I guess.
If JAC flights aren't normally crewed out of SFO, they might be hit and miss for getting those guys qualed up and it might not be something they normally even think about?
Did OO ever try to send me somewhere that the crew or plane wasn't right for? Yup. Did DX catch it? Nope.

probably something as simple as a 22 year old high school dropout who now works in HDQ and doesn't really comprehend what they are doing just clicks "enter" and sends the young inexperienced CA into an area he wasn't qualified. Don't worry. No one at hdq will take the hit.
Wow you just described yourself. Now, that fryer still needs cleaned out, so chop chop!

There was nothing remarkable about the article, nor about the event. The incident wouldn't have been noticeable at all, had the pilot not couched his announcement as he did.
Jackson Hole is a special qualification airport. The specific reason for the divert and the specific paperwork involved, isn't specified, nor is it important, as clearly it was handled, and the passenger were delivered to the destination, albeit with a delay.
The event doesn't merit more than a yawn.

Gosh, thank you for that insightful post. Maybe the fact that someone without the proper check was sent to, yes, a special qualification airport is of interest to some of us. How did that hole develop in the cheese block? And perhaps someone reading this who is new to the left seat will look on this and go " yeah, maybe I will choose better words".
