It's not about a special status of flight captains. Same can be said of e.g. a store manager acting in-place of the owner. It's a matter of one being on someone's private property, instead of on public property.

Hi, when I was in flight school it wasn’t explicitly stated but certainly heavily implied that as pilots were not allowed to trespass passengers and kick them off the plane mid-flight.
If you have information to the contrary, I would like to be made aware because occasionally I have ended up stuck for hours in the air with unpleasant passengers.
Was just clarifying GP's general point and not stating anything specific to pilots.
You’re badly wrong, aircrew has actual legal authority which stems from the fact that they’re aircrew.
Absolutely nothing to do with private property, especially considering that you can’t trespass people on a plane.
