crosswind??
I just read on ppjn.com that pilots with <1500hrs cannot land in a crosswind >15kts, dont know if this is true but i think its big time BS cos:
1. u are not giving trust and capacity to people whom the company has recruited through what appears to be a difficult (and expensive, for us) selection and TR... hence they should be above avg pilots, and should be treated accordingly.
2. after 1500 hrs u may become captain, since ur license is "unfrozen", which means u may have a capt. who has never landed in Xwinds >15kts...
3. After any ATPL course in any school, modular or integrated, in the UK, Spain, New Zealand or the North Pole (some good schools other there), u should have experienced Xwinds greater or equal to 15kts in a LIGHT AIRCRAFT, which is much more diffucult to land in those conditions than a 737.
I shall definately ask about this if I ever get called for interview, wondering what everyone else thinks if this were true.
