Narrative:
Cleared from holding pattern at FL370 to 7000 ft and cleared to pjg VOR (curacao). Going through 33800 ft TCASII went off. At 33400 ft took hard evasive action by climbing and turning left. Just missed air carrier Y airplane at FL330. Also was overfueled at cur and landed slightly overweight (206000 pounds) at ccs. Had approval from maintenance and air carrier X dispatch. Landed normally on long runway in smooth landing.
