OTTAWA -- The federal government has rebuffed Air Canada's plea to be compensated for a portion of the more than $100 million the airline says it has spent over the last five years to accommodate gun-toting sky marshals on its flights.

Newly released documents show the government dismissed the airline's concerns about costs and other aspects of the program earlier this year on the grounds that changes would "compromise public safety."
I have seen FAMs on AA/UA/DL as well.
I wonder if they get compensated for the seats that they occupy (and compensation when they travel on overbooked flights?)
