Narrative:
Small transport X departed runway 33 at bradley given right turn heading 060 degrees, maintain 5000'. Air carrier Y departed runway 6 heading 075 degrees, climb maintain 10000'. Small transport X was issued the traffic departing runway 6 and reported air carrier Y in sight. Small transport X was told to maintain visibility sep and proceed direct bos. Air carrier Y was advised of the traffic off his left side that was going to maintain visibility sep with him and issued a heading 360 degrees. As targets separated air carrier Y was issued direct and contact center. Air carrier Y called back a few mins later questioning the operation and stated that he had to take evasive action and wished to file a near midair report.
