HSI callouts for a visual approach?
During approaches in good VMC, do many airlines require the non-flying pilot to state "Loc/glideslope alive" etc?
Because of the fact that we are required to have an instrument course set as a back-up for visual approaches, it has always seemed to me that if nobody verbalizes that the Loc course (although a VOR course can bring you towards the wrong parallel runway) is moving, then this back-up might go totally unnoticed. It does not hurt to arm the flight director and check it at 1,000', along with the gear handle (+lights) and flap indicator.
With closely spaced (CLE, DFW) parallels, a crew also could easily have the wrong course set in, especially when tower tells you to do a last-minute sidestep or other distractions happen as the crew is remembering to read the Landing checklist, or simply waiting for tower to give them a landing clearance.
