Narrative:

Flight from clt, nc, to fay, nc. During initial descent into fay, ZDC descended us to 11000 ft and handed us off to fay approach. On initial contact with the controller he said climb immediately there are 2 aircraft dead ahead crossing from right to left at your altitude. About 1 second after he finished transmitting, the TCASII issued an RA to climb. The first officer disconnected the autoplt and smoothly pulled about 2 G's while advancing the power. He climbed us back to 12000 ft in about 15-20 seconds, the TCASII issued a clear of conflict. We saw the 2 aircraft go by underneath from right to left. They were in a loose 2-SHIP formation and we could see their formation lights very clearly. It was nearly impossible at night to gauge the actual distance between us but I do know one thing, it was really close, too close. I also filed air safety report and a captain's report of irregularity with my company.
