Most of these missiles would be IR guided though, wouldn't they?

And given the size of the aircraft/number of engines/their general lack of concern for concealing IR (or radar, for that matter) signatures, I'd say the chances of a commercial-sized jet out-manuevering a missile are pretty small. And you'd need a LOT of chaff/flares to spoof a missile off something that big :hmm:
