It sounds like aviate may know who was in the cockpit, as I said before, the lady's voice is familiar to me, but it is difficult to tell who was PF from the audio. I still say being west of 101 while southbound over the Departure end of the 28's puts one in jeopardy (actually 2), and at or before the departure (center line) East is more than preferable, it is far safer.

The upshot of this deal is the TCAS and the female's intensity because of the RA. The Tower had no business not giving 889 the traffic, and making them ask. The Controller was wrong. Listen to his last transmission to 70Echo, he's making double sure the Cessna can be relied upon to miss. He knows he's in worse trouble for making the 777 maneuver, and he knows immediately he fouled up. For my money, he was hoping and praying for no TCAS, and 889 would not then know how careless he'd been.

imo, bear
