Correction...I should have said "The Russian PIC wasn't well
informed..."
The Russian copilot wanted to comply with the RA I gathered but
apparently the PIC over-rode him...that was my read anyway...

From the programme I saw on Channel 5 about the incident (which was, perhaps
surprisingly, well compiled and quite balanced) there was certainly a high
level of disagreement between the PIC and his colleague over whether to obey
TCAS or ATC.

Yes, some of the particulars of an air incident certainly don't
get well portrayed when the media or a film making endeavour is
involved do they?...did you ever see he movie made of the Air
Canada incident where a 767 ran out of fuel?...my lord that was
the most sickening flying movie that I've ever seen in my life,
(and I've seen a bunch).
