We had a pilot get fired for calling in sick about 6 months ago. Don't know the status on that (he was a jerk, so I don't really mind- couldn't stand flying with the guy- but that is a slippery slope too). Heard he went to a job fair while he was sick and lied about it to the CP on the phone when called to question.
I have heard of many pilots getting hauled in for calling fatigue... one a close friend of mine.
