No one is forced to be an Air Marshal.
As far as rewards, Federal Air Marshals receive their base salary, 25% of their base salary for Federal Law Enforcement Availability Pay (LEAP), and travel expenses.
And a last point, FAM's are part of TSA.

Plenty of people have it much harder every day and many don't enjoy the great pay and perks the FAMs get.

I can just see a combat soldier whining to his CO about long hours, not enough sleep, boredom standing watch - without a comfy seat, IFE, regular meals and beverages, high pay + bonuses and perks.
Yeah, right.

Listening to the complaints, it sounds like none of these whiners ever served in combat in the military.

Just saying.
