Yo Larry B, yah might wanna point out for the folks here the example of the Head of BPA's Procurement (Head Contracting Officer -- a classic example of a diverse Glass Ceiling Doofus) organization is currently sitting in the Federal Pen in Sheriden Oregon. It seems our Diverse Glass Ceiling Gal wanted her hubby employed in a well paying YOB so she put the arm on a couple of BPA's large service contractors to sub-contract to her hubby, a definite criminal no-no. It was an attempt to "Hire" relatives but failed cause somebody knew and did not like the favortism and blew a whistle.

My point is that the problem is not so much hiring relatives, but hiring "Like Opinion Kind" or another favorite I like to point out from my BPA days, only hiring alumni from the Oregon State Electrical Engineering program. BPA became rather inbred by those two examples. And when I say only electrical engineers, I mean they hired them for a lot on non-engineering jobs for which they had no qualifications or experiences. Just look at another classic example, teachers, in particular NEA affliated teachers, a whole lot of inbreeding there.
