Narrative:
We were in cavu, uncontrolled airspace, in contact with the ack tower who had us on radar during our descent. Tower reported 2 aircraft. We confirmed both in sight. Tower was not speaking to departing commuter flight. Tower informed us that commuter would pass behind us. We recognized that he was cutting in front of us, and didn't see us. We turned to the right without a problem. Commuter pilot called tower and was rude to the operator. Suggest that commuters monitor tower when 3 mi from airport.
