Narrative:

We were on a visual approach to runway 15, behind another landing aircraft. The tower controller told us to stay west of the runway centerline for traffic. A falcon was taking off from runway 33 on the lindz 4 departure, after the falcon cleared the first aircraft, we were warned about the traffic, I responded that it was not in sight, and the controller replied 'thank you.' we could see the falcon on our TCASII, and it was climbing, while we were descending. The falcon turned wbound (as per the lindz 4) toward our course. When we were within 500 vertical ft of each other, the TCASII gave us an RA to climb. The captain ignored the RA and continued to descend because the falcon was clearly climbing, and he believed climbing would have put us on a collision course with the falcon. We finally saw the falcon when it was about 1 mi away. It passed right over us. Right after it did, I looked at the TCASII and it read 100 ft and changed to 200 ft. Both aircraft were following landing and departing procedure as published or as instructed by ATC, and we still had a near miss. Having aircraft land and depart on opposite runways with very little separation is dangerous and should be stopped.

Title: LR60 ON VISUAL APCH TO RWY 15 TO ASE RECEIVED TCASII RA AND INITIATES EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID DEP FROM RWY 33.

Narrative: WE WERE ON A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 15, BEHIND ANOTHER LNDG ACFT. THE TWR CTLR TOLD US TO STAY W OF THE RWY CTRLINE FOR TFC. A FALCON WAS TAKING OFF FROM RWY 33 ON THE LINDZ 4 DEP, AFTER THE FALCON CLRED THE FIRST ACFT, WE WERE WARNED ABOUT THE TFC, I RESPONDED THAT IT WAS NOT IN SIGHT, AND THE CTLR REPLIED 'THANK YOU.' WE COULD SEE THE FALCON ON OUR TCASII, AND IT WAS CLBING, WHILE WE WERE DSNDING. THE FALCON TURNED WBOUND (AS PER THE LINDZ 4) TOWARD OUR COURSE. WHEN WE WERE WITHIN 500 VERT FT OF EACH OTHER, THE TCASII GAVE US AN RA TO CLB. THE CAPT IGNORED THE RA AND CONTINUED TO DSND BECAUSE THE FALCON WAS CLRLY CLBING, AND HE BELIEVED CLBING WOULD HAVE PUT US ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH THE FALCON. WE FINALLY SAW THE FALCON WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 1 MI AWAY. IT PASSED RIGHT OVER US. RIGHT AFTER IT DID, I LOOKED AT THE TCASII AND IT READ 100 FT AND CHANGED TO 200 FT. BOTH ACFT WERE FOLLOWING LNDG AND DEPARTING PROC AS PUBLISHED OR AS INSTRUCTED BY ATC, AND WE STILL HAD A NEAR MISS. HAVING ACFT LAND AND DEPART ON OPPOSITE RWYS WITH VERY LITTLE SEPARATION IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE STOPPED.
