Just had a thought which I don't think has been added to the pot yet. Is it possible that the B737 had a problem prior to and at the time unrelated the MAC? In attempting to deal with this problem departed from its assigned level?
I appreciate that this would be incredibly incredibly unlucky....but then at the end of the summer I have to clean swatted flies off my car aerial....
Added later: Mind you this doesn't explain why the Legacy couldn't take avoiding action in response to TCAS, does it?
