Depends on the situation and experience of the crew/controller. Remember one situation when we departed a small German airport in Class G airspace. Stopped at FL80 and TCAS showed a conflict straight ahead climbing 500ft below. We requested climb to be denied due to military airpsace above. Neither left or right would be given as well. TCAS RA Climb. Controller probably had a lot more explaining and paper work to do after that one!
