I really don't mind being called any name, offensive or otherwise, but the use of such verbal abuse just confirms my original assessment of the questioner.
I merely answered the 'actual' question posed rather than enter into a debate on crosswind landings. I have over 20 years experience as a TRE on various multi-engine types (turbo-prop, jet, high wing, low-wing, swept back and straight) and could have made CRM and safety contributions. For example, in addition to comments previously raised, some types do not have NWS tillers for the RHS occupant; this raises a significant area of concern when determining cockpit procedures. However, the bottom line is the Company SOP so that, as GL points out, Captains do not have to endure the wailing of disgruntled FOs.
My assessment (which may be wrong) was that P_L is probably the girlfriend/wife/daughter/sister of such a peeved pilot.
If I'm wrong and she has aspirations to become a pilot, I would suggest:
  • a change of attitude unless she wants to spend a very long time in the RHS
  • work on her self-confessed 'dreadful' grammar before inflicting it upon aviation management by way of CV
  • work on the Lady side of her 'handle' - pink she may be, lady she is not
