It's hard to be productive and work together as a team if there is blatant disrespect and harassment in place. How can you trust each other? It's good business to solve those problems for the bottom line if for no other reason. Besides that, it's just the right thing to do anyhow.

I also work for a large aerospace corporation with a similar culture. Stories like this let me appreciate the high caliber of individuals I work with. My project team relies on everyone's cooperation and help in order for us to finish on time and within budget - and that goes into our performance reviews affecting salaries and promotions. Treat others as you would want to be treated.
It amazes me that a company would allow the disruptive behavior the OP describes or the "suggestions" that only inflame the situation.
Cultural changes can take a while and in this case, the sooner the better.
