That is a terrible idea. I have worked at SFO before and that place gets severe fog, cutting the arrivals down from 60 to 30 per hour. Because 28L and 28R are so close together (Centerlines 750ft, so 550ft between runways), simultaneous approaches cannot be made in fog. Even with the advent of these new simultaneous offset instrument approaches, the ceiling must be below 2100ft for simultaneous approaches to happen.
Translation: On a foggy day, Frontier will be hit extremely hard on these SFO-LAX flights.
Below 2100 or Above 2100? I think you meant Above.
