Narrative:

We were operating as (company call, flight #) to athens, GA. We were given a takeoff clearance from charlotte tower and we were assigned a right turn to 270 degree after takeoff. We were departing on runway 18L. Tower did not advise us of traffic departing on runway 18R. We departed runway 18L, and after passing through 400 ft, we started a right turn to a 270 degree heading. While in the turn, tower advised us of traffic departing runway 18R (a fokker 100) and that we would pass behind him. When I turned to look for the traffic, I could see that he was well behind us and that if we continued our turn, we would be heading straight at him. I immediately started a turn back to the left and at the same time, our TCASII commanded a climb and we complied. It should be noted too, that my captain never saw how close we were. We missed him by approximately 200 ft. I feel that this was a controller error and after the occurrence, controller even said that from the tower, it looked as if we would pass behind the jet. I also feel that some type of additional measures should be taken by controllers to prevent this type of occurrence, because we would not see the jet until we were in the turn. Supplemental information from acn 296991: in turn at approximately 500 ft AGL, tower advised traffic a (air carrier name) had departed runway 18R and we would pass behind him. (At this point we were still east of runway 18R) and that he would be no factor, we spotted traffic at 1:30 to 2 O'clock low and climbing. At this point we decided that a conflict existed and an evasive turn was made to the south to avoid traffic. After traffic was clear we turned back to 270 degree heading. Traffic on runways 18L and 18R in clt is handled by 2 different air traffic position.

Title: THE FLT PATHS OF 2 ACFT CONFLICTED DURING SIMULTANEOUS DEPS, FROM PARALLEL RWYS.

Narrative: WE WERE OPERATING AS (COMPANY CALL, FLT #) TO ATHENS, GA. WE WERE GIVEN A TKOF CLRNC FROM CHARLOTTE TWR AND WE WERE ASSIGNED A R TURN TO 270 DEG AFTER TKOF. WE WERE DEPARTING ON RWY 18L. TWR DID NOT ADVISE US OF TFC DEPARTING ON RWY 18R. WE DEPARTED RWY 18L, AND AFTER PASSING THROUGH 400 FT, WE STARTED A R TURN TO A 270 DEG HDG. WHILE IN THE TURN, TWR ADVISED US OF TFC DEPARTING RWY 18R (A FOKKER 100) AND THAT WE WOULD PASS BEHIND HIM. WHEN I TURNED TO LOOK FOR THE TFC, I COULD SEE THAT HE WAS WELL BEHIND US AND THAT IF WE CONTINUED OUR TURN, WE WOULD BE HDG STRAIGHT AT HIM. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED A TURN BACK TO THE L AND AT THE SAME TIME, OUR TCASII COMMANDED A CLB AND WE COMPLIED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED TOO, THAT MY CAPT NEVER SAW HOW CLOSE WE WERE. WE MISSED HIM BY APPROX 200 FT. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A CTLR ERROR AND AFTER THE OCCURRENCE, CTLR EVEN SAID THAT FROM THE TWR, IT LOOKED AS IF WE WOULD PASS BEHIND THE JET. I ALSO FEEL THAT SOME TYPE OF ADDITIONAL MEASURES SHOULD BE TAKEN BY CTLRS TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF OCCURRENCE, BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT SEE THE JET UNTIL WE WERE IN THE TURN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 296991: IN TURN AT APPROX 500 FT AGL, TWR ADVISED TFC A (ACR NAME) HAD DEPARTED RWY 18R AND WE WOULD PASS BEHIND HIM. (AT THIS POINT WE WERE STILL E OF RWY 18R) AND THAT HE WOULD BE NO FACTOR, WE SPOTTED TFC AT 1:30 TO 2 O'CLOCK LOW AND CLBING. AT THIS POINT WE DECIDED THAT A CONFLICT EXISTED AND AN EVASIVE TURN WAS MADE TO THE S TO AVOID TFC. AFTER TFC WAS CLR WE TURNED BACK TO 270 DEG HDG. TFC ON RWYS 18L AND 18R IN CLT IS HANDLED BY 2 DIFFERENT AIR TFC POS.
