yes and no. this guy didn't have access to the proper people at that point. He was undoubtedly sitting in a holding company, where nothing works anyway (I speak from experience) with a possibility of fighting something that could take weeks to months to straighten out. That would put him on hold doing basically nothing for several months while people chased paper-as was stated in the article- he wanted to get on with his life.

It's possible he could have found some old E9 hiding in an office somewhere who would have taken pity on him and made the problem disappear through creative regulation usage, but with the current state of things, the Fairy Godmother department could be a bit overextended.

What I want to know is, why is this effort even necessary? why are we even having this discussion? even if the LT in question could have finessed the system and stuck around on hold for 2 months while things got figured out, he shouldn't have to. And if it's happening to more than one person, something is broken and not being fixed. Blaming the people who are most affected by the breakage isn't really productive in a case like that.
