they dont mention any specifically, but say: "In recent years, in several incidents abroad, civilian aircraft were fired upon by man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). This has led several companies to design and adapt systems like a laser-based missile-defense system for installation on civilian aircraft, to protect those aircraft against heat-seeking missiles"

Jesus. How much do those pilots get paid? Like $60k/year?

GlassDoor says FedEx pilots make an average of $239k/year, plus some bonuses.

That's still not enough to have missiles fired at you, IMO.

Widely varies. It's a crappy "time working for this specific employer" based seniority system.
