Narrative:
While being vectored off the PAATS3 RNAV; at 7;000 feet; we were assigned a heading of 120 degrees. TCAS alerted us to another aircraft at our altitude; very close to our position. Before TCAS commanded a RA; I immediately turned off the autopilot; and began a steep turn to the left to avoid the traffic. The RA began giving instructions to climb. We complied. Returned to 7;000 feet. Landed phl. Please provide feedback to me that describes how close we were to the other aircraft.controller inattention. I spoke to quality assurance supervisor in phl TRACON. He told me it was being elevated to the highest level in FAA quality assurance program. He also stated that he had reviewed the radar recording along with audio ATC transmissions. He stated 'it did not look good'; and he 'could hear the audible change in the pilot monitoring's voice'!
