Narrative:

Everything was normal; we were at 5;000 ft between corll and diggr. ATC told us to climb to 6;000 for traffic. The first officer (first officer) started the climb. I looked at the TCAS; saw a yellow dot target in front of us 200 feet high. I quickly looked outside and saw the traffic above us. Before I could even tell the first officer not to climb the TCAS gave us an RA; 'descend' at about 1;000 ft per minute. I then told ATC that we have an RA and we are descending. ATC gave us a descent to 4;000 and a turn to 250. I watched the light twin engine plane fly above us from right to left. My suggestion is that we stop using the corll 1 arrival. This arrival is getting very dangerous. We are getting traffic alerts all of the time. We need to be grouped with the mco arrivals using the buggz 2 arrival.

Title: Air Carrier Captain arriving SFB via the CORLL1 arrival experienced a TCAS RA which he attributes to using this arrival. He believes that MCO arrivals would be more suitable for his aircraft and away from VFR traffic.

Narrative: Everything was normal; we were at 5;000 ft between CORLL and DIGGR. ATC told us to climb to 6;000 for traffic. The First Officer (FO) started the climb. I looked at the TCAS; saw a yellow dot target in front of us 200 feet high. I quickly looked outside and saw the traffic above us. Before I could even tell the FO not to climb the TCAS gave us an RA; 'Descend' at about 1;000 ft per minute. I then told ATC that we have an RA and we are descending.
