Right now it's probably best you avoid having your Nano representative set to the Banano Airdrop rep.
You can see here https://mynano.ninja/account/banano-airdrop that the node is offline and hasn't voted for 4 days (as of posting).
Over 4,000 Nano addresses still have their representative set to the Banano Airdrop representative.

A screenshot from My Ninja Nano showing the Banano Airdrop node has been offline for 4 days, and currently has over 900,000 NANO delegated to it.

You might think 'what harm can it do?' but the Banano rep currently has over 900,000 NANO voting for it, 0.87% of the Nano network voting weight. That voting weight is no longer helping the Nano network reach consensus with Open Representation Voting, as the node is offline.

The network is designed with situations like this in mind, there is enough voting weight elsewhere that this hardly impacts anything. But to keep the network at its healthiest, if your representative is set to the Banano Airdrop rep it's best to change it.
If you're not using the Banano Airdrop rep, it's still a good opportunity to review your own current representative and change it to a more stable one if need be. Or if your rep has more than 1% voting weight, maybe change to one with less voting power, you can see more details in this post.
