Cross Wind Landing Technique.

Have a look at this. What amazes me, is the lack of technique, period. What were these people taught at flight school??? Surely they were taught some sort of technique, in kicking the aircraft straight. That is, to have the heading somewhere near the track of the aircraft. on touch down, with the into wind wing down, "slightly".get the into wind wing high, you're in trouble.. Is it the respective company policy, of no crossing of controls before touch down? Which draws me to wonder what these company's published cross wind limits are, or is it "max demonstrated" cross wind. If that is the case, then it is set well above the ability of some of these pilots. I weep with despair at the sight of some of this.. AF takes the biscuit for me. That poor aircraft!!

Before you attempt to flame me, I have many hours on 4 engined, heavy, swept winged aircraft. No I'm not perfect by a long shot but if was unable to, or wasn't allowed to do better I would give it up. Tin hat??
