Narrative:
While conducting ojti (on the job training instructor), sector was becoming busy with aircraft because of chop above our sector. Traffic was increasing and had a northbound aircraft X at FL290 and an eastbound aircraft Y. Aircraft Y turned down the airway at the edge of the sector and issued turns on northbound aircraft X to avoid aircraft Y. Supplemental information from an 627301: while training on my first session at the sector, the sector became busy and I was overwhelmed with calls and increasing traffic. Aircraft Y turned down the airway at the sector boundary, the trainer observed the turn and issued turns to aircraft Y and aircraft X.

Title: AN A319 ON A NBOUND NEAR APE ENCOUNTERS A DC9 THAT HAD BEEN ON AN EBOUND COURSE, BUT SUDDENLY TURNED ONTO AN AIRWAY TOWARD THE A319.
Narrative: WHILE CONDUCTING OJTI (ON THE JOB TRAINING INSTRUCTOR), SECTOR WAS BECOMING BUSY WITH ACFT BECAUSE OF CHOP ABOVE OUR SECTOR. TFC WAS INCREASING AND HAD A NBOUND ACFT X AT FL290 AND AN EBOUND ACFT Y. ACFT Y TURNED DOWN THE AIRWAY AT THE EDGE OF THE SECTOR AND ISSUED TURNS ON NBOUND ACFT X TO AVOID ACFT Y. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM AN 627301: WHILE TRAINING ON MY FIRST SESSION AT THE SECTOR, THE SECTOR BECAME BUSY AND I WAS OVERWHELMED WITH CALLS AND INCREASING TFC. ACFT Y TURNED DOWN THE AIRWAY AT THE SECTOR BOUNDARY, THE TRAINER OBSERVED THE TURN AND ISSUED TURNS TO ACFT Y AND ACFT X.
