What safety conference was that? Here's a scenario for you, this one is from my CRJ days. We were approaching 33L at BOS with one of Cape Air's 402s approaching 33R. Beautiful day, clear and a million, we were getting an RA off of the 402. We had him in sight the whole time, landed no problem, he landed no problem. We did let the tower know we got the RA, so they can maybe work on spacing a little better (fat chance), but there was no problem.
