Narrative:
We were in visual conditions on a high right downwind (slc runway 16R) , the captain was PF, and we were cleared for a visual approach to runway 16R, the air carrier Y 737 we were following was going to runway 16L. The captain started his base earlier than I thought he should. By the time he recognized it (difficult for him to see, since we were on a right downwind), he extended through the final to get down, and we ended up pretty close to the final of runway 16L and within 1 mi or so of the 737. We finished the approach to a normal landing on runway 16R. I recognized what was happening earlier than the captain, and should have been more directive than I was. Fortunately, nothing came of our overshoot, but I am better prepared for the next time.

Title: B757 ON A VISUAL APCH OVERSHOT TURN TO FINAL WITH TFC ON THE APCH FOR THE PARALLEL RWY.
Narrative: WE WERE IN VISUAL CONDITIONS ON A HIGH R DOWNWIND (SLC RWY 16R) , THE CAPT WAS PF, AND WE WERE CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 16R, THE ACR Y 737 WE WERE FOLLOWING WAS GOING TO RWY 16L. THE CAPT STARTED HIS BASE EARLIER THAN I THOUGHT HE SHOULD. BY THE TIME HE RECOGNIZED IT (DIFFICULT FOR HIM TO SEE, SINCE WE WERE ON A R DOWNWIND), HE EXTENDED THROUGH THE FINAL TO GET DOWN, AND WE ENDED UP PRETTY CLOSE TO THE FINAL OF RWY 16L AND WITHIN 1 MI OR SO OF THE 737. WE FINISHED THE APCH TO A NORMAL LNDG ON RWY 16R. I RECOGNIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING EARLIER THAN THE CAPT, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE DIRECTIVE THAN I WAS. FORTUNATELY, NOTHING CAME OF OUR OVERSHOOT, BUT I AM BETTER PREPARED FOR THE NEXT TIME.
