I just read your post avbug and you beat me to the point. With the exception of yours no where in any of the post did I see reduce the thrust vector. It proves that guys need to think outside the box, procedures are great but they won't save you when things really get nasty. Every nasty thing in aviation requires and action equal and deliberate in the opposite direction to keep from producing an accident. Technology is not the answer in the case of what just happened with DHL, the TCAS told the 757 to decend, at the same time the TU-154 started its decent at the exact instant the 757 did. I am sure that just prior to impact the TCAS yelled Climb, Climb but it was too late. God Bless them all.
