People who try to find loopholes are people who think the rules apply but just not to them. Those people have a serious issue as well and shouldn’t be anywhere near an airliner.
Instead of using a actual counter argument, you use an Ad hominem and go off a tangent. I've never mention about being "freedom" nor do our care about anyone's politics. Nor do I care about this subject. I'm just stating what's in the policy and what people are allowed and not allowed to do.
And regardless of someone's attitude towards a policy, you can't just kick someone off a trip, when clearly within the parameters of the policy. There's a difference between refusal and following within the policy. Sure, if I speak to Chief Pilot, if I'm drinking my coffee, I would ask him Sir, Can you please read me the policy? Can you state where in the policy, it tells me how long I must have mask off, if I'm partaking in drink? And Chief Pilot would side with me because he knows I'm right.
