You're not responsible to do so.... But it's understood that you would want to preclude having to get an extension. The CP office can help, and they will help you coordinate with CS to get you on a reserve assignment, or buy someone's trip....but if you call, do NOT ask for "proficiency flying." While that is a valid technique, it will NOT increase your GTD in the reserve pool. You will literally be flying for free.
