I saw this on another news site. Knudson, the NTSB spokesman, was quoted as saying that the pilots took "evasive" action.

How can a .25G manuever with a required 5 second response time be considered evasive?

Hey take it easy! They were at least 1 minute within hitting each other! You need Top Gun skills to follow that green arc on the TCAS.

Thanks ALPA for the TCAS!!!!

I wonder how two airplanes at the same altitude ended up being so much closer than 15 minutes separation.

You don't have time to think!!!
