If you were to call in honest many times following the letter of the new policy, they would have to raze the policy before disciplining you. They might threaten, but past that more serious action would result in a successful lawsuit and a anti management rallying point going into contract negotiations.
I think you guys are missing the point. It's not how many times you use the policy it's how many times you use it with a bad excuse. Have two good flights that fill up because of an early morning cancellation, you're ok. Try to get two oversold flights the day before Thanksgiving, not so much. Prudent planning means use common sense, that's all.
