Haven't you got anything better to do on this eve of a non-muslim religious festival?
I say follow the TCAS and follow it properly and swiftly
When have I said different? I agree totally. Just that some people need reminding that TCAS is only as good as it's weakest link- which is now daily encounters with unverified, not talking, no clearance GA VFR lighties. Follow the RA by all means, but I'd be following those instructions that say "visually aquire the intruder" like never before.

"It's a safer system". Minister John Anderson. (I'd like to see Dick Smith drink a glass of water while John says it, though).
