I think it is especially important with contract negotiations looming. You can't be absent for years then send one card(billboard) asking for help and expect people to care. I think we could have a historically monumental contract, but only if we expand the team. If we don't, I can foresee flying becoming as dangerous as driving as cutting is used as a means to demand compliance. I think if we all voice this to our reps then it will push ALPA to be more active and thus effective. Just putting it out there so at least others think about it, or know they are not the ONLY ones thinking about it.
