As the TCAS warning is given in accordance to a time to impact, and that you have them flying
at the same flight level
, the smaller the angle of convergence, the longer it would take.
And as you start with 900 Nm (this would be left or right, and ... say ½ a degree angle convergence), they could eventually run short of fuel before anything else....(according to type and fuel in tanks of course)
