Could not a "ramp check" be construed as "interfering with a required crew
member"?


A ramp check can be considered interfering with a crew member. You are not
required to go through the ramp check if the delay will affect the safety of
your flight (such as weather or airport closing) or hinder your business.
Let's say you are a corporate pilot waiting at an airport and your
passengers show up. If there are no obvious issues the FAA can not hold you
to do a ramp check.
