Also was this on a route that was previously flown as a manline flight? Perhaps the "thanks for flying the route I previously flew" would not have been received well by you and your need for acknowledgement.
Really it's got nothing to do with non-revving, jumpseating, etc. It's just common courtesy to acknowledge someone when they welcome you aboard or say goodbye, whether you're boarding the crew van or a 777
And as far as the route goes, I don't recall mainline ever flying into San Luis Obispo. But what should that have to do with anything? Nothing, that's what.
