Prior to a diplomat taking his/her station posting, one of the sternest and most frequent warnings is: Never go native.
What that really means:
1. You are not personally important, your position is why you are treated like royalty. Not you. (DALPA officers vs MGMT)
2. Never forget who you work for and always report factually and truthfully. It makes the analysts job easier and keeps policy decisions more correct.
Our (DAL pilots) goals are aligned with the company's success, but NEVER to the detriment of our (DAL pilots) goals.
It seems sometimes the primary goal of an MEC is to stay in their positions, primarily by promising small gains, and then achieving them, instead if working harder to achieve all the goals stated by their constituents. By managing our expectations, they can achieve those smaller goals, and stay in office a little longer. I just don't see any outward promotion, any "rocking the boat.". Slow, thoughts? You know, Bangladesh's economy isn't that great, soooooo we might not want to ask for anything over a 5% raise during the first year of the new contract.... Wouldn't be prudent.....
