Pure chaos, ATIS says that landings should be on 30L and departures on 30R but unfortunately both runways are being used to landings what’s causing a line of 27 (at this moment) aircraft to departure from 30R. 🤷♂️
There’s too many arrivals right now to just use 30L without causing huge delays.
Arrivals ultimately have priority.

There are not a huge amount of aircraft to arrive that could explain the usage of both runways
There are 44 arrivals within 20 minutes, and 75 aircraft within 60 minutes. That’s a lot.

My point is that since I arrived (20 minutes ago) only 3-4 aircraft have departed from 30R while there are almost 30 in line
Well 🤷🏼♂️
Sounds close to the real world actually. Just be patient.
