I think it would be a good idea to visually aquire the other aircraft. What guarantee do you have that there will be coordinated RA's. You may have to visually manouver(or attempt to do so) around the other aircraft. Perhaps he will climb while you climb as well. Why, a visual illusion maybe. He may be ignoring his RA. Or maybe he isn't getting an RA because he is not TCAS equipped or his TCAS is unserviceable due to a unit defect or a defect of equipment that inputs information to the TCAS unit or improper equipment usage.
Many times you will get a TA for non mode C equipped aircraft. Therefore all you will ever get is a TA for traffic that may be on a collision course. So take a look. You will anyway if weather conditions permit.
