British Airways and Sri Lankan cleared to same flight level
It is being reported that a UL flight was cleared by Ankara on a conflicting flight level to a BA flight. It was only due to the UL refusing to climb that averted a potential disaster. Has anyone else heard about this?

Written like a high school journalism student.
One source I found quoted 1,000 TCAS warnings a day. 12nm flying in the same direction apparently didn't even trigger a traffic advisory, let alone a resolution advisory.
The lives of 275 passengers on UL 504, its crew members, and the lives of passengers on the British Airways flight and its crew members were saved due to the vigilance and strong decision-making of the Chief Pilot of UL 504.
