Narrative:
We just departed ewr. Communicating with new york departure control. Level at assigned altitude of 10;000 ft. Autopilot on. I was pilot flying. The first officer was monitoring pilot. The controller said to contact new york - 'but before you go; you have traffic; an rj climbing to 9000. He is stopping at 9000 your at 10 o'clock. Have a nice flight'. We reported the traffic in sight and monitored him closely. It didn't appear that he was going to level because of his rate of climb and deck angle. We switched over to the next controller and simultaneously got a TCAS RA to climb. I clicked off the autopilot and complied with the command. We got another command to increase climb; which I complied. All this happened as we were trying to check in. First officer checked in as our initial call climbing in response to a TCAS advisory. The controller was a little confused because he questioned us like he didn't know if he was talking to us or not. We told him about the rj and he then told us to climb to 12;000 ft. We complied; and the rj passed underneath us by a few hundred feet. I think we handled this event appropriately.
