What should they have said or done?
His point is that they are training in SLC, and there are ALT restrictions to be below FL230 to the East of SLC by a good bit. When checking in they always give you a climb above FL 230, so you always need to ask if it is unrestricted. There were a few issues out there with this, and the guidance is to always ask. If you stop at FL230, they generally get upset because they are planning arrivals on you being above it, even though the plate says otherwise.
Of course it takes 270 days to get a nav plate changed.
