SODPROPS (Simultaneous Opposite Direction Parallel Runway Operations) is the most efficient and "noise friendly" configuration. The landings turn off close to the terminals either side, the departure threshold of 16L is handy enough to the terminals (except for the departing heavies that require 34L), and most of the noise is over the bay for both landings and departures. This extremely rare "Xanadu" event is no reason to discontinue this optimum operation!
I think with 'children of the magenta' methodology (
