Having just read the report it makes interesting reading. Amazed that both sets of crew took each others avoiding instructions from ATC. That's really not great
PR for pilots at any level or qualification.
Yes TCAS was there as another level of protection so the risk is lower than that currently being hyped by the media. But to the layman you can understand a certain level of apprehension when aircraft instructed to avoid then increase their convergence!
Alas, for all the 'anonymising' of the report, the Airpox board does slip up a little by referring on one occasion to the 'B748'. Narrows down the operators somewhat.
