Narrative:
During takeoff on runway 9L in VFR WX, we were the 3RD air carrier in a row. We were cleared for takeoff, turn left to 070 degree out of 1000'. During takeoff roll we observed a light twin on 9R which had started his takeoff roll a few seconds before us. He broke ground and started crowding toward 9L. He then began a shallow left turn across our flight path. At about 2 O'clock position, the first officer kept him in sight until he crossed above us. I stayed at approximately 200 AGL straight out until I saw him come into view on my left about 9 O'clock and approximately 200' above me, then continued climbing out, as instructed.

Title: FLT CREW OF MLG DEPARTING PBI HAD SMA DEPARTING ON A PARALLEL RWY MOVE LEFT TOWARD AND ABOVE THEM APPROX 200'.
Narrative: DURING TKOF ON RWY 9L IN VFR WX, WE WERE THE 3RD AIR CARRIER IN A ROW. WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF, TURN LEFT TO 070 DEG OUT OF 1000'. DURING TKOF ROLL WE OBSERVED A LIGHT TWIN ON 9R WHICH HAD STARTED HIS TKOF ROLL A FEW SECONDS BEFORE US. HE BROKE GND AND STARTED CROWDING TOWARD 9L. HE THEN BEGAN A SHALLOW LEFT TURN ACROSS OUR FLT PATH. AT ABOUT 2 O'CLOCK POSITION, THE F/O KEPT HIM IN SIGHT UNTIL HE CROSSED ABOVE US. I STAYED AT APPROX 200 AGL STRAIGHT OUT UNTIL I SAW HIM COME INTO VIEW ON MY LEFT ABOUT 9 O'CLOCK AND APPROX 200' ABOVE ME, THEN CONTINUED CLIMBING OUT, AS INSTRUCTED.
