Narrative:

On departure, was asked if we had air carrier X in sight. I saw a jet at 1130 O'clock, approximately 2 mi and assumed it was air carrier X and reported 'air carrier X in sight.' after second affirmation, we were turned to right. When turn was initiated, air carrier X was seen immediately below us at same speed. First officer made immediate left turn and air carrier X accelerated away.
