The two men at the centre of a storm of controversy related to their racist behaviour aboard a flight this week are offering public apologies to the Indigenous people of Labrador and their families. Dave Beck and Thomas Scott are both from St. John’s, and have worked for many years as plasterers and painters.
They had been working on a hotel renovation project in Nalcor-owned Churchill Falls for nearly three weeks, employed by a Mount Pearl company called Kankote Enterprises.
With their work just about complete, they boarded a flight on Monday to return to their homes.
