Narrative:
En route rdu at 8000 ft approach control called traffic, medium large transport aircraft, climbing to 7000 ft ahead. TCASII alert received for a TA, then approximately 10-15 seconds later, another TCASII alert received for an RA at which point the captain initiated a position climb and the first officer contacted approach control and advised that the aircraft had climbed to avoid conflicting traffic and that TCASII alerts had been received. Aircraft leveled at 9000 ft with no further TCASII alerts.
