We use both runways between 0600 local and usually 0645ish local, because the inbound flow rates for the rest of the day are based on zero inbound delay at 0700 local. Also, at that time usually all the stacks are full of aircraft going round and round, while there is maybe one departure every five to ten minutes......it would be a waste if we didn't use that spare capacity to land a/c!
