TCAS philosophies

Absolutely correct Bernd, the only problem I still see is the (until now ) refusal of the FAA to consider mandating the CP change and any new TCAS version for that matter.
Possibly the new US Administration will change some of the FAA top, but even with new people I have my doubts that the attitude will drastically change overnight.
Punkalouver , you've made your points already many times here , we noted them. Why don't you just follow your RAs as the book says and come back here when you have something new to say?

As for a TCAS(that worked as advertised) being installed causing the accident, well, that is true, just like if planes had never been invented these perfectly working planes would never have crashed, so it is the planes fault. Hardly an intelligent argument.
If a GPWS gives a valid warning and the pilot overreacts by stalling it is ridiculous to fault the GPWS. Then to say ignore it may be logical because of some remote unlikely scenario is a dangerous statement, as is the similar statements made on this thread by those saying similar about their remote unlikely reason for ignoring a TCAS warning in the German midair several years ago.
