I think the BNA ramp works fine the way it is. Leave it to management to start controlling and screwing it all up!

No, this would violate ICAO 5th Freedom rights since SWA is based in neither Cuba or Mexico.
They could theoretically operate from say Houston to San Jose, Costa Rica, and then on to Panama City, Panama under the 5th Freedom (picking up additional pax in Costa Rica)…
That might be a varsity level achievement for this rec league airline though.

For instance, I've purchased many tickets on non-US carriers that started at city A in the US, went to foreign land city C, and returned to either city A or a city B in the US. Even city D in foreign country number 2 is not illegal. 5th freedom is about a foreign carrier operating domestic flights within the US (or vice versa).
You're right that you cannot buy a ticket on swa from Houston to Cabo to Mexico City because of 5th freedom and our one industry leading section in our contract (scope). But from a legality standpoint, there's nothing illegal about buying a ticket from Havana to Tampa and back (or to another non-US city).

I’m not doubting you but riddle me this…. What does having a ramp control have to do with establishing a pilot domicile?

Not denying that....with how busy that airport has gotten, it definitely needs a ramp control. Every other base we have the ramp is controlled by ATC or Ramp for the most part so maybe it's just something they want....
