Narrative:

We departed lga IFR for destination bdl. Climbed to cruise altitude of 9000 ft and were cleared direct bdl VOR then as filed. Approaching bdr VOR at 9000 ft heading eastbound, ATC advised traffic 12 O'clock 10 mi. We started looking for the traffic. As we were looking, we got TCASII TA. The subject aircraft was shown 5 mi 12 O'clock 8100 ft. We still did not have the aircraft in sight. ATC advised a turn to right. At that time TCASII stated climb. We spotted the aircraft slightly to our right at our altitude. We both decided that a climbing turn to the left was only way to avoid collision. We executed climbing left turn to 9600 and heading about 040 degree and cleared aircraft by 500 horizontal and 500 vertical. ATC advised us they were tracking subject aircraft to get an north number for us. Was later provided by ATC. I believe the small transport should have been at proper altitude for VFR and wbound flight. Pilot displayed total disregard for far. This individual should not be allowed to operate an aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: LTT AT CRUISE HAS TA THEN TA AND RA. CLBED AND TURNED TO AVOID.

Narrative: WE DEPARTED LGA IFR FOR DEST BDL. CLBED TO CRUISE ALT OF 9000 FT AND WERE CLRED DIRECT BDL VOR THEN AS FILED. APCHING BDR VOR AT 9000 FT HDG EBOUND, ATC ADVISED TFC 12 O'CLOCK 10 MI. WE STARTED LOOKING FOR THE TFC. AS WE WERE LOOKING, WE GOT TCASII TA. THE SUBJECT ACFT WAS SHOWN 5 MI 12 O'CLOCK 8100 FT. WE STILL DID NOT HAVE THE ACFT IN SIGHT. ATC ADVISED A TURN TO R. AT THAT TIME TCASII STATED CLB. WE SPOTTED THE ACFT SLIGHTLY TO OUR R AT OUR ALT. WE BOTH DECIDED THAT A CLBING TURN TO THE L WAS ONLY WAY TO AVOID COLLISION. WE EXECUTED CLBING L TURN TO 9600 AND HDG ABOUT 040 DEG AND CLRED ACFT BY 500 HORIZ AND 500 VERT. ATC ADVISED US THEY WERE TRACKING SUBJECT ACFT TO GET AN N NUMBER FOR US. WAS LATER PROVIDED BY ATC. I BELIEVE THE SMT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT PROPER ALT FOR VFR AND WBOUND FLT. PLT DISPLAYED TOTAL DISREGARD FOR FAR. THIS INDIVIDUAL SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE AN ACFT.
