Wait. You're on reddit at work? Aren't you an... air traffic controller?

A few quick ones if you don't mind:

What kind of vessels do they typically attack in? Are they speedboat type little-things or more like yacht-size? How many are in a group?

How many times have you encountered/been attacked? Have they ever boarded?

What kind of damage would fire hoses really do to a group of armed pirates?

Are attacks more common at night than in day?

Hm. You'd think that it'd be easier and more covert to try to board a ship at night time..

Are you allowed to carry a weapon yourself?

Nice try, Indian Ocean pirate

I heard it's one of the most stressful jobs, other than a bomb technician. Is this true?
