Default Will TCAS avoid colision in the middle of the Pacific?

The DHL midair in Europe a few years back comes to mind - although I
think that was more a case of two different schools of though in dealing
with TCAS alerts.


IMO, that accident proved the value of the TCAS, as both aircraft were
given a proper conflict resolution, but as we all know the pilot of the
Russian aircraft ignored the TCAS instruction.
