On the other hand, I've successfully leveraged DND "violations" (to pick a word) by HK into large handfuls of extra points on my hotel member programs. Be sure to speak with the manager about it and be polite.

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.

I wonder how many of the posters saying you shouldn't have called in sick have ever worked for an airline that was perpetually understaffed to the point of never being able to drop a trip?
To be fair I only call in sick when I am sick but both my current and former airline would never allow me a day off if requested. Ever.

Checked into hotel at 6am after a all nighter. 30 min later, knock on door "Housekeeping. Answered door and was told they have to knock if there is no "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Told the lady I did not have a DND sign to hang on the door. Back to bed. 15 min later the phone rings. Housekeeping supervisor calls to apologize for the knock on the door and explains their policy again. Back to bed. 30 min later, knock on the door "Housekeeping". Answered the door. "Here is your DND sign" and hands me one.
