1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Very interesting...note how it turns around and overflys the A320 a couple of times as well.....

From that map though I'd say there was at least 300-500ft of vertical separation between them....still pretty scary though  :o
