I believe on El Al it's both automatic, and I believe I read that the pilots aren't immediately informed of it, as they thought that finding out that a missile was after them might distract them from taking off or landing.
Continental makes money

yes El Al's are automatic just like our military grade ones. All for heat seaking type threats.
