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?
Yeah, I get that you can be kicked off or denied boarding. Rather, I'm asking what your rights are -- can you just call AA up and say "you guys changed the terms on me, you sold me a ticket, now you're making me wear a mask on a 6 hour flight and I hate wearing masks and think they're uncomfortable and I think this virus thing is BS anyway, you changed the terms on me, you owe me a refund"?
