Narrative:

Clearance for departure scholes 6, climb 4000 ft. After takeoff clearance we were given left turn to 150 degree heading, maintain 4000 ft. Out of approximately 1500 ft climbing and in the left turn to 150 degrees our TCASII gave off TA at approximately 500 ft above us and about 12 O'clock position. I began to leveloff as the first officer called the traffic in sight. The controller called to advise of the traffic. The call came as the TCASII gave us RA and called for a descent. We leveled out at 1400 ft as we advised the tower that the citation would pass over top of us.
