I’ve been reading your answers and after careful consideration I have reached a conclusion: I’m Red 1!
I never knew landing a 737 could be this dangerous or difficult!
Running out of ailerons at 20 kts xwind? Are you sure we are flying the same 737?
When I started on the NG some 20 years ago, one of the first tables I looked at was what it took to put a wing, engine pod or flap track fairing on the ground. You really need to mess up the landing in a severe way to do this. Never looked at it again
It does happen out there, but very seldom.

As for Real Life flying: A week or two before xmas 2018 I did a flight to LHR. Wind from the south with gusts at 40 kts. The type of weather that make you miss runway 23. We landed and so did everybody else.
You two would probably be on your way to MAN along with EK.
Flying and reading the manual at the same time is very difficult, I imagine.
