Imagine getting paid the third-world minimum possible amount, work overnight shifts on a mountain (sherpa stuff) for their added luxury, & be forced to work directly (for days at a time) with these rich assholes with pieces of clothing worth more than your family will ever see.
I wouldn't think twice if the headline read that it keeps happening that they call rescue helicopters & then just keep lifting their clients into the main rotor dirty-dancing-style.
(Also damn that casual background view on that preview pic!!)
