    It costs like $400 per hour to keep that helicopter flying plus whatever wages you have to pay the flying :cop:s on board. You could probably just pay for the lifeguards at that point.

    Edit: Thanks to MolotovHalfEmpty, I did some research. Looks like it might be a Eurocopter EC120, so it's closer to $800.

      1 hour flying that helicopter amounts to 2 lifeguards pay for the entire day, not including pig wages.

      Only $400? Don't get me wrong it's still a dreadful waste but every take off + hour of flight of our local air ambulance costs almost £1000

      Yes but you see it'd be unproductive to pay lifeguard to simply sit around like a lazy bum. Unlike these cool piglets in the sky doing good godly work
