Narrative:
Departed cvg runway 27 with instructions for a right turn heading 290 degrees and a climb to 6000 ft. The captain checked in with departure as we left 2500 ft for 6000 ft and departure acknowledged our call. About 1 min later, departure called to see if we were with him. The captain did not respond. I asked why the captain was not responding and he said that he had already checked in. TCASII then issued a TA for a target that was above us at the 10:30 O'clock position descending and headed right at us. The TA cleared and then the captain called ATC. ATC issued a climb to 13000 ft and was not happy that his call had gone unanswered. Neither was I.
