Somewhere I remember reading that a TCAS RA in the USA should be reported to ATC as a 'Near Mid Air Collision' or 'NMAC'. Now, if we are going to use this system because it's what the Yanks, use, perhaps we should be using their conventions as well. That means, if the DJ pilots had an RA, they had a 'NMAC'.

Stick THAT in your pipe Messers Anderson, Smith et al.
