F/O is going to be far too slow to pull reverse thrust - or to kick off the drift in a strong crosswind on a wet runway.
Or, the corollary for the F/O; if the Captain's landing, that he has to have faith that the Captain
doesn't kick off the drift with 33 knots of crosswind on a contaminated runway (assuming of course that some other emergency is forcing them to land with plenty of fuel on the short runway in bad weather). Otherwise good (somewhat) patronising post.
