Narrative:
I was flying in new york B airspace on a clearance at 4500 ft. I saw a DC9 type aircraft to the south of me which did not present a collision risk. It was very turbulent and my cherokee climbed 200 ft from my assigned altitude. I was called by the controller and told the airline had received an RA and was climbing. I think following TCASII RA's in cavu with no collision threat is ill advised.
