Narrative:
On climb out from sju international airport clearance was given by departure to climb to the appropriate VFR altitude and cleared on course direct st croix. While climbing through 7700 ft a TA was given to an air carrier mdt, 'traffic 12 O'clock opposite direction, 1 mi.' the mdt pilot replied 'in sight' and at the same time I saw the mdt at 12 O'clock at our altitude less than a mi. Both I and the mdt broke hard right and evaded collision by approximately 500 ft horizontal. The mdt commented 'that was too close' and I reprimanded the controller that her TA was not given in time to preclude a collision.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CPR SMT HAS NMAC WITH MDT ON CLBOUT.
Narrative: ON CLBOUT FROM SJU INTL ARPT CLRNC WAS GIVEN BY DEP TO CLB TO THE APPROPRIATE VFR ALT AND CLRED ON COURSE DIRECT ST CROIX. WHILE CLBING THROUGH 7700 FT A TA WAS GIVEN TO AN ACR MDT, 'TFC 12 O'CLOCK OPPOSITE DIRECTION, 1 MI.' THE MDT PLT REPLIED 'IN SIGHT' AND AT THE SAME TIME I SAW THE MDT AT 12 O'CLOCK AT OUR ALT LESS THAN A MI. BOTH I AND THE MDT BROKE HARD R AND EVADED COLLISION BY APPROX 500 FT HORIZ. THE MDT COMMENTED 'THAT WAS TOO CLOSE' AND I REPRIMANDED THE CTLR THAT HER TA WAS NOT GIVEN IN TIME TO PRECLUDE A COLLISION.
