Help me out here. I'm a bit confused, first in him not saying anything to you four years ago when you decided to write your own rules, seems a bit toolish, if he truly felt that way.
But secondly, you lie to your employer about your situation. Did you happen to call the pilots that may have been called out on reserve or given a "junior assignment" and explain the situation and apologize? Thought not. No matter how crappy your regional was, where were your ethics? Was that week off a "right"? I guess it was in the new age of entitlement.
Can't blame him for not updating a LOR for you, but he should have had the 'nads to tell you to your face over the last four years. That was toolish. But IMO, your behavior was just as toolish for basically lying to your employer and someone had to pick up your slack.

People can write a rec letter for whomever then choose, or NOT write one. Their option.
But I wonder if said pilot ever did the SAME EXACT THING THEMSELVES over the course of their career?
You know, called in sick when they weren't really sick, lied to their employer, called the reserve pilot(s) to see how their lives were impacted by said absence, maybe boasted about it to the people they were with on said sick call. You know, "ethics".
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. Just sayin'.......
If said pilot didn't/never had to self augment their schedule for whatever reason, good for them.

Some poor reserve pilot may have actually been called to fly?! Oh the humanity!
How about all of the unethical decisions made by all levels of management day in and day out, but you're worried about a guy calling in sick after exhausting all avenues to get the time off so as NOT to throw away his money so that he can fly his trip at his regional airline.
I nominate YOU for TOTD. You must be a joy to fly with.

Wow!!! Unless you are the theoretical perfect God-like human being, you have have made questionably unethical decisions in your life, so get off your judgemental high horse.
