Depends on how you define "taking." How do I define it?
AA: If you sign this contract, we'll give you Ejets.
AE: Ok.
AA: Okay, if you don't sign another concessionary contract, we'll give those Ejets we promised to Compass.
AE: No
AA: Okay, Compass, here are those airplanes we promised Eagle.
Since Eagle is owned by American and American promised them airplanes, it is a different situation than other sub-contractors. I don't think Compass "took" anyone's flying as much as I don't think TSA did. PSA? Well, we know they took a weak contract with promises of airplanes with full knowledge that they were being leveraged against the Eagle pilot group.
Again, that's why your simplification doesn't tell the whole story and makes your summaries inaccurate. My original point stands.
