Thanks for posting this.

Oh, man. Originally the tower told PAT25 to look out for a CRJ at 1200 feet turning in for Runway 33.
PAT25 calls the tower and says he has the CRJ in sight, and requests visual separation. But I'd bet he was actually looking at American Flight 3130...which was downriver but operating at 1100 feet. The tower calls again after the TCAS warning goes off and PAT25 confirms the visual.

Bluestreak 5342 meanwhile was continuing its descent towards R33 and was at down to 400ft...PAT25 was flying at ~300ft if I read the telemetry correctly.
