Narrative:

After departure from lax, we were given several different vectors and altitude. Lax handed us off to coast where we were given a clearance of heading 130 degrees, maintain 5000'. After being level at 5000' for 203 mins, coast called traffic at 12 O'clock, less than 1 mi, level 5000'. We noticed the aircraft, an small aircraft, at this point, turned off the autoplt and turned right 45 degrees to evade a midair collision. We felt the fault lay with the pilot of the small aircraft who was not talking to anyone and cruising at 5000'. The controller pointed out the traffic a bit late, but that is to be expected with the load placed on the controller at that time of day.

Title: CLOSE PROX ACR-MDT GA-SMA SOUTH OF LAX.

Narrative: AFTER DEP FROM LAX, WE WERE GIVEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT VECTORS AND ALT. LAX HANDED US OFF TO COAST WHERE WE WERE GIVEN A CLRNC OF HDG 130 DEGS, MAINTAIN 5000'. AFTER BEING LEVEL AT 5000' FOR 203 MINS, COAST CALLED TFC AT 12 O'CLOCK, LESS THAN 1 MI, LEVEL 5000'. WE NOTICED THE ACFT, AN SMA, AT THIS POINT, TURNED OFF THE AUTOPLT AND TURNED RIGHT 45 DEGS TO EVADE A MIDAIR COLLISION. WE FELT THE FAULT LAY WITH THE PLT OF THE SMA WHO WAS NOT TALKING TO ANYONE AND CRUISING AT 5000'.
