On the A330 it's slow and quiet and you can always hear another Widebody fly past +- 1000' away.

Never heard anything on the 777 though....

Flying TK Istanbul to Tbilisi, a little surprising to pass another 737 on a 180 degree track just meters below. It was probably 1000' but seemed much less.
With a backdrop of snow-capped mountains below, it looked sensational.

Unhappy

Had a F/A call us yesterday to tell us 'one of the J class pax just wanted you to know that they saw an aeroplane fly past us quite close'. It was 2000' above us, passed about 4nm in front of us from left to right. I gave the pax the aircraft flight number, their altitude, our altitude, etc. they didn't seem convinced.

suggests it was in the good/bad (delete as appropriate) old days. It would be professional suicide to ask something like that today.

Was 22/12/1989


A quick search shows no reports?

It may have been the case that nothing was put in. It's a different world now

Agreed. 89 is well into good/bad old days territory.
