    So Delta had a TCAS RA and responded to it. That’s not really news or anything particularly unusual. I think I get around ~2-3 RAs a year or so, usually because someone is climbing or descending fast and TCAS gets scared because it doesn’t know when the planes are going to level off.

      What’s sort of eerie though is that DCA has been having lots of these TCAS alerts If you consider multiple TCAS alert incidents, as well as the in-air collision that happened, it’s an unsettling pattern developing at DCA.
