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.

Is it required for the passengers who paid for those seats to say "Thanks" ? Many passengers still say, Hello, or Thanks during the boarding and deplaning. It's not about, non-reving, or Jumpseating. It's just being nice to another person. It's sad that we have many passengers who paid for those seats, that took the time to say hello, or thank us as we they are walking out, but it sounds like it's too much trouble for some pilots.

As well as customers that do it even when we're late/delayed, had a terrible ride with turbulence, etc.

That's what they were - a shot with a v-e-r-y long (focal-length) lens.
Photo-editing then was a matter of an air-brush or very fine bristle brush on a optical negative or print.
Different technology, same outcome. Like rotary piston power vs turbo-prop.

I would never expect a nonrev to poke their head in the flight deck and say hi. I certainly don't, when I'm nonrevving. But to blatantly ignore someone standing there welcoming you on board , I think that's just rude.

- "Have a great day, Captain. Thanks for flying with us".
- "You bet, sport. Keep up the good work, sonny boy" *double pat on the cheek*. "Bye sugar-doll" *smiles, winks and nods at the flight attendant next to the greeting pilot*.
How about that?
