I don't know any details or even if said 'assaults' even happened. I do know there is a lot of tension over the issue right now.
Eagle was on the sidelines prior to 9/11, while thousands of pilots were hired or merged to AA. TWA was bought and a certain prior CEO told AE ALPA the purchase "does not include Eagle".
We had 125 flowthrough in an agreement that had been promised to let 50% of AA newhires be flowthroughs from Eagle. Now, we are having 600+ flowbacks come here, a 5:1 ratio. The flowthrough did not affect the livelihoods of AA employees. Now, the flowback is definitely affecting Eagle and keeping FO's on that payscale for 8-10 years. We now have 7 year Captains being displaced to FO to fly with the very flowbacks who displaced them.
