Pilots are trained to follow the TCAS instructions even if it contradicts those given by air traffic control. This is because the TCAS system is far quicker at reacting to the situation and making decisions. The TCAS system never tells a pilot which way to turn but climb or descend. If, however, a pilot has a visual contact of the other plane, the rule is to turn to the right.
