I'm trying to figure out where you are getting this "go above the CTO's head to the CEO" situation from the message you are replying to?
I am not the person you are replying to, but I've definitely made a stink my boss about my people being overworked. If the person from the original article went to the CTO and said "look, my people need a week off, but we will still have the software delivered on schedule", that would have been the right solution, not lying to your boss.
