Question Captains

Hi all,

Can someone please put my mind of rest on this matter. When FO's are promoted they occasionally change the aircraft they fly (i.e. RHS-LHS 747-737) By being a captian you get certain ""privilages"" so a "brand-new" captain is allowed to do a fully Cross wind landing, even though he mite have 500hrs on type (but has 5500hrs total) But the FO hes flying with has always flown the 737 and has 2000hrs on type. Surely the FO has more experience on the machine, and knows exactly how it handles etc, but hes only allowed to do 2/3 crosswinds landings!!

Is this stupid, or am i being stupid???
