Narrative:

Air carrier Y and MD80 was departing bna international on the bna 7 SID. He was kept at 5000 ft below arriving traffic descending to 6000 ft. Traffic was called on a target squawking VFR (1200 ft) climbing out of 6000 ft. Air carrier X was climbed to 13000 ft and given a turn to 120 degrees. Air carrier X advised he was delaying the climb for the traffic (now out of 6300 ft). I told him he had been turned behind traffic. He said the TCASII didn't show that. He eventually started his climb but his delay increased my workload.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: DELAYED CLB DUE TO TFC.

Narrative: ACR Y AND MD80 WAS DEPARTING BNA INTL ON THE BNA 7 SID. HE WAS KEPT AT 5000 FT BELOW ARRIVING TFC DSNDING TO 6000 FT. TFC WAS CALLED ON A TARGET SQUAWKING VFR (1200 FT) CLBING OUT OF 6000 FT. ACR X WAS CLBED TO 13000 FT AND GIVEN A TURN TO 120 DEGS. ACR X ADVISED HE WAS DELAYING THE CLB FOR THE TFC (NOW OUT OF 6300 FT). I TOLD HIM HE HAD BEEN TURNED BEHIND TFC. HE SAID THE TCASII DIDN'T SHOW THAT. HE EVENTUALLY STARTED HIS CLB BUT HIS DELAY INCREASED MY WORKLOAD.
