Yes, and even that simple layer of regulation can be gamed. The fact o the registration requirement creates the opportunity.

You're right

Default FAA Response...

MR.......

N-numbers can be reserved by the public as long as they are available to reserve. We have no regulation to limit how many numbers an individual or corporation may reserve. As long as they keep paying the required reservation and/or renewal fee, we will reserve the number.

Thank you
tms

Perhaps the real issue is a transfer of that reservation in mid-term?

If a reserved number is no longer wanted by an individual/corporation it should be "thrown back into the pot" for public use.

The FAA response ignored that scenario...
