Gypsy, very honest of you! That's how everything works in Newfoundland nevermind the CBC. It's the worst for nepotism in Canada (Quebec is not in my Canada). I think that's why CNA was chosen frankly speaking. Nepotism is the norm here thus the Newfoundland way is closer to the Qatari way. When nepotism works, it's great, when it doesn't work it's a disaster.

The CBC article however was based on a CNA survey and most of the employees surveyed are still here. So it's not just 'relative' it is real and comes form a CNA survey and emails from the very top. It is not just ESL so try not to be confused about the source. Reread the article and listen to the audio.

I am reminded of the Titanic. The main investor did not think that lifeboats were necessary and the captain did not think that slowing down to have a better look for icebergs was wise either.

I think CNA ought to reappraise the support system, being instructors, and slow down to look at the problems. There are more icebergs out there...
