Thanks for all the responses.
The itinerary I have on hold has all AA flight number and all flights are in fare basis code B. I thought it was relatively cheap at $1409 (with only one stop-over). The cheapest Business class fare (searching all airlines), with one stop, is $3600.
I actually checked the reservation again and the seats on the Eva flights were assigned. According the seat maps on Eva's website, they were assigned in the Evergreen Deluxe cabin.
