Capt Pit Bull
Thanks for an informative post. I learned a lot, thanks. I also learned to watch my fingers on the touchpad, I went back and looked at my post to understand your comment on "banging heads". Where they came from, I don't now.
The SAN mention was aimed at the other poster who seemed antagonistic toward following RAs as being mindless airline responses.
Thanks for the thoughtful info on TCAS. Yes, quite agree pilots must operate within the aircraft's envelope. We go to TA Only when OEI.

I operate large corporate jets and did operate C-5s. Also survived a tactical military mid-air with a parachute ride, so v. interested in the subject.
