There was a cool youtube video on trans-atlantic (off-radar) flight that explained why airlines often fly in parallel. Can't find it... :-(
The most alarming thing about this video to me is 2 airliners on odd/even flight levels are headed in the same direction for some reason?https://twitter.com/internetofshit/status/893344021992665088 …

With 10min corridor entry timing there's a pretty good chance of a plane flying next to you. I've definitely seen "neighbors" a few times.
-
At least across CONUS odd flight levels (35kft eg) are for heading east & even (36k) for westbound.
-
So neighbors seems likely but you usually have a few miles lateral separation.. not what's going on here!

Looks like the top plane is crossing slightly left to right. Maybe they're both heading north-ish?
