I think I understand.
You think I sit in an office with no comprehension of reality. You think I don't fly for a living and haven't for more than a decade and a half. You think I can't solve problems and you think I think that the 'guys' didn't do fine.
Is that about right? One word - Wrong.
If that's not what you meant then I can make no other sense of your post.
Must try harder.

The post wasn't addressed to you. It was a general observation.
The guys had an unexpected problem to deal with. Number of times it's happened in aviation that the majority of pilots are aware of? Maybe never?
They used standard U.S. 'non-controlled' procedures and went home.
Now, with days of hindsight and numerous calls to subject matter experts and lawyers, the FAA is going "harumph, harumph, how dare they!?"
