Mid-Air Collision over Southern Germany (merged)

[mole]

ferris,

Thanks for replying I think we are now on the same wavelength. TCAS is an excellent piece of kit but most of us do try to avoid hitting potential TA/RA trigger points by reducing vertical speed when approaching occupied levels. All I was trying to say was I hope you guys in ATC do the same when time permits you to do so (vectors when it looks tight.) TCAS is very neccessary and works well but only after the investigation will we know why it didn't do the job on that tragic night over the Bodensee.
