Few years back, i was on descent into Mumbai and cleared to 11000ft. Indian Airlines Airbus was cleared to climb to 9000. To cut the story short, he climbed through it and hell broke loose. Hard RA and we climbed out of the way. Whew!
I filed a report and rang the chief pilot, who begged me not to file the report. Something about having an ace up the sleeve, next time the authorities did an audit on the compay.
I resigned and had left India within the week!
When i left India, the number was up to 35 near misses a year. I sometimes wonder how many WERENT reported!
