I believe that the pilot has the right to refuse passage to any passenger and technically for any reason.
If there is a published rule that says you will wear a mask when you fly with us, and you choose to disobey that rule, you can be off-boarded.
Would that outcome be any different than pulling out a cigarette on a plane prior to departure and saying that you are going to smoke it as soon as the flight is airborne, whether the staff like it or not?
