I remember seeing this happening while taking off from Charlotte. ATC probably does this on purpose to make estimating turns easier/more predictable rather than trying to time staggered takeoffs and approaches amongst each other. That place must have a fuckton of holding and departing traffic at all hours…
Happens a lot at Charlotte-Douglas; the field has three parallel runways.
