A Skywest pilot told his passengers he wasn't qualified to land the E175 he was flying them on to Jackson Hole last Thursday so they went to Salt Lake City instead. The flight, operating as Alaska Airlines Flight 3491 took off from San Francisco as scheduled but spent a couple of hours on the ground in Salt Lake City while another pilot was found to complete the trip. The diversion was reported in a Reddit post which quoted the pilot as telling the passengers over the the PA: "Hey, I’m really sorry folks but due to me not having the proper qualification to land in Jackson Hole, we need to divert to Salt Lake City, Utah. We’ll keep you posted on the next steps."
