Human Factors
Cleared from ARCHI to PONKE to intercept 28L final approach course. ATC said there was a 737 at 3 o'clock for 28R. Did not see that airplane. ATC said the 737 has us in sight. We continued. I saw the TCAS of the 737 coming towards us; but did not see the airplane visually; I thought from looking at TCAS he was behind our right wing. The TCAS rapidly went from 500 ft difference to 400; 300; 200 we initiated the RA as soon as we heard it. I saw the TCAS as low as a 100 foot differential but did not see the airplane until they were banking away from us and we were on the Go around. First Officer said that he could make out the pilot! Thank you TCAS for getting me out of there before they hit us.
