2 Heavies - 1000 PAX ? - 750’ apart on parallel approaches at night relying on visual separation for safety ( with SCT and BKN low cloud! )

Is that REALLY SAFE ?

Amazed that there aren’t more near misses / midair’s !

There is no way that NIGHT ( or day ?)Visual Approaches in a high traffic environment should be allowed? particularly if there is low cloud around.

FUEL - are the airlines carrying too little fuel margins to save costs?

Loads of ac on minimum fuel arriving at 1 airfield could mean a big drama if the runway is suddenly blocked!

presumably situation will get worse with forecast increased traffic ?
