Narrative:
Air carrier X on final runway 36 got TCASII RA and went around. Only traffic small aircraft Y on left downwind runway 36 to follow sym. No factor. Company policy says pilot must obey RA, even if traffic is in sight. On a busier day, this aircraft would have caused quite a few problems. TCASII inside the traffic pattern needs some work.
