Narrative:

Location: siler intersection. Please reference earlier report for same flight tul-dfw. After filing earlier report, I contacted dfw TRACON. I spoke with a supervisor familiar with our close encounter. That is, close for me 1/2 mi, not close for him. The supervisor did not share my concern at all. He also said that 1/4 mi lateral separation is fine at 11000 ft if one plane sees the other. He would not provide me with the initials of the controller involved. What does that tell you? Safety is not a concern at dfw TRACON. Yes, I realize that TRACON can make my life more difficult than I can hurt theirs, but there is no excuse for this, and please understand when I refuse a TRACON controller a jump seat. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this report was 1 of 2 reports submitted to his airline. The reporter said that the traffic involved was an air carrier cleared to descend through his altitude and it passed behind causing a TCASII RA. At the time the reporter was under assigned speed control until he began to slow to cross the fix at 100 KTS below the previous speed. The WX conditions were clear and the other aircraft reported visual contact with the reporter's aircraft. The main concern of the reporter after the conflict is the attitude of the supervisor at the TRACON which he considers to be less than professional. He is concerned that this attitude will be spread to those under supervision of this person.
