In my company the F/Os have exactly the same crosswind limit as me - 35 knots. It is usually better to let the youngsters get on with it. It is good for their confidence-building and they are mostly better at it than me!
Don't pay any attention to 411A. The miserable old curmudgeon comes from the L-1011 which was a wing down aeroplane and, as far as I am aware, he has zero time on the 747 landing in a 35-knot cross wind. The 747 is a "kick-off drift" aeroplane (for very obvious reasons).
