Very well said LTP, could not agree with you more.
What is frightening , and keep on surprising me , especially after Ueberlingen and the Nov 2003 ICAO ammendement to TCAS procedures, is that still today apparently, there are still many diffrent SOPs in cockpits regarding ACAS procedures, and so much lack of training regarding ACAS manoeuvres.
Remember : what ever you decide :
Never manoeuvre on a TA,
Never maneuvre in the opposite direction of an RA,
In case of doubt, or of conflicting ATC clearance, always follow the RA.
These 3 things might save your life one day...
Also remember that not everyone has TCAS, not everyone has a mode S transponder, some other routes may be as little as 5 NM away from you, so what you see on your ACAS display might not be the complete picture , and as said here already many times , TCAS is very bad in azimuth .... never was made for it.
