You're confusing a visual approach with VFR. The airlines do fly visual
approaches into JAC, they just don't fly VFR.

Here in Jackson Hole Wy I thought the same thing. We have several
majors that fly into here and on those 100 miles+ visibility days they
could fly a visual. So I asked some captains the same question. There
answer was all the same ... Their airlines require them not to pick us
a visual and stay in the "system" for safety reasons. Seems kinda silly
since we have a very competent tower here.
