Situation a few months ago after he introduces himself as being with “mainline” and asking which one and finally being called out by the capt

Skywest jumpseater : “But we own our own planes, that makes us mainline”

Capt: “...HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE AN HOUR?!???”

Skywest jumpseater: “41 an hour”

Capt: “that is regional FO pay, you work for a damn regional and I will not have someone lie and misrepresent themselves in my jumpseat. You’re welcome to a seat inback but not up here”

He didn’t make the flight. I hope he learned a lesson, but I honestly think he had drank so much koolaid that he was convinced he was mainline and wouldn’t listen to reason. I wouldn’t of given him the boot but it wasn’t my jumpseat to give.
