Narrative:

The sector adjacent to mine was being manned by a first line supervisor who was not operationally current at his sector at the time of the incident. This individual allowed a scheduled air carrier to penetrate approximately 15 mi into my sector without a handoff. The supervisor was not being trained at the time, there was no qualified controller monitoring him. After the occurrence, the supervisor failed to report the incident to the quality assurance department. This type of airspace violation is very rare among qualified and competent controllers and I believe this incident resulted directly from the supervisor's lack of experience and training and/or currency at this sector. No loss of separation resulted from the incident. It is common for unqualified supervisors to work traffic at this facility.

Narrative: THE SECTOR ADJACENT TO MINE WAS BEING MANNED BY A FIRST LINE SUPVR WHO WAS NOT OPERATIONALLY CURRENT AT HIS SECTOR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THIS INDIVIDUAL ALLOWED A SCHEDULED AIR CARRIER TO PENETRATE APPROX 15 MI INTO MY SECTOR WITHOUT A HANDOFF. THE SUPVR WAS NOT BEING TRAINED AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO QUALIFIED CTLR MONITORING HIM. AFTER THE OCCURRENCE, THE SUPVR FAILED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT TO THE QUALITY ASSURANCE DEPT. THIS TYPE OF AIRSPACE VIOLATION IS VERY RARE AMONG QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT CTLRS AND I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT RESULTED DIRECTLY FROM THE SUPVR'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING AND/OR CURRENCY AT THIS SECTOR. NO LOSS OF SEPARATION RESULTED FROM THE INCIDENT. IT IS COMMON FOR UNQUALIFIED SUPVRS TO WORK TFC AT THIS FAC.
