The brief for sfo is high threat close parallel ops....i.e dont fly thru the runway....jesus just try seattle with 3 runways and they cross you high across two northern runways and then ditch you capture from above maintain visual separation.....”u visual cathay?”......
Higher likelihood is these guys did not understand what maintain visual separation meant and someone thought they were clear the visual approach, even worse thinking to follow united. These guys rarely hear a visual approach clearance, let alone brief it.
OZ Skipper probably yelling “ask him again” and making it all worse.
Probably complaining that the atc is at fault and not using OZ phraseology. Remember this is an A50, the 4th man cant see anything and the 3rd man is half asleep from flying all night.
