Did he buy the plane? No. Did he buy the company that owns the plane? No. He has no say on if he can stay on the plane if they ask him to leave for whatever reason. If a plane ticket paid for passage and a right to be a dick then everyone would fly. 

He paid for a service, and they have to fulfill their service. They did not.

They have the right to refuse service. If you don't believe me, how many times have airlines kicked people off of planes?

So he was a dick for trying taking the plane he paid for? I guess everyone else on that flight as well, since no one wanted to get off the flight.

They asked him nicely and offered him a good deal to get off the plane. He refused. They asked again. Refused again. Like I said earlier, what did he honestly expect from refusing? It was gonna play out in one of two ways. He gets off the plane willingly and takes another flight or he's forcibly removed and likely arrested. This isn't like an arguement with a spouse, being stubborn won't get ya anywhere.
