Well said. It doesn’t hurt the company it just hurts the guys with you on reserve. Never proffer for a trip and not confirm it. I know rarely I have just forgotten to confirm. If you are junior on reserve and about to do your third or fourth day on S1 and you don’t confirm your next S1 then no ones going to fault you for it. I have four kids so I try to maximize my time at home. If one gets sick or something happens and I need a different start time then I may “forget”to confirm a schedule and I hope others do the same when needed.
You will not get in trouble except if you fall asleep and miss a phone call from CS
