Narrative:
TCASII RA. From doccs intersection on the finks 6 arrival we received vector 050 degrees. We acknowledged visual on an air carrier airbus which was climbing. At 15000 ft I accepted a clearance to 12000 ft and maintain visual separation from the air carrier. Prior to or just after initiating descent we received a TCASII RA. We immediately initiated a climb and a subsequent increase climb which I followed. We climbed to 16000 ft. The air carrier came from approximately our 1-2 O'clock position passing under us. The air carrier reported also responding to an RA. The sky was clear and it was night.

Title: MD80 AND EA32 HAD A TCASII COORDINATED RA. THE MD80 ALSO HAD AN ENHANCED RA.
Narrative: TCASII RA. FROM DOCCS INTXN ON THE FINKS 6 ARR WE RECEIVED VECTOR 050 DEGS. WE ACKNOWLEDGED VISUAL ON AN ACR AIRBUS WHICH WAS CLBING. AT 15000 FT I ACCEPTED A CLRNC TO 12000 FT AND MAINTAIN VISUAL SEPARATION FROM THE ACR. PRIOR TO OR JUST AFTER INITIATING DSCNT WE RECEIVED A TCASII RA. WE IMMEDIATELY INITIATED A CLB AND A SUBSEQUENT INCREASE CLB WHICH I FOLLOWED. WE CLBED TO 16000 FT. THE ACR CAME FROM APPROX OUR 1-2 O'CLOCK POS PASSING UNDER US. THE ACR RPTED ALSO RESPONDING TO AN RA. THE SKY WAS CLR AND IT WAS NIGHT.
