I know a lot of factors go into each incident, and they are all unique, but sadly, these near misses are getting more and more common nowadays. It's painfully clear whatever the issue(s) is(are), we need to address them soon before a deadly tragedy.
This was not a particularly "close call" and it was not even a loss of separation.
The Pilatus was VFR. AA was, obviously, IFR. While it
was some very strange vectoring by the N90 controller, at no point was the required 500' vertical separation lost.
