Well that's when a pilot earns his pay! Good job. Dreadful conditions, but do you really want flights cancelled when the weather gets like this? He handled it perfectly, kept the wings level. The spoilers helped reduce the extra lift on the upwind wing. Conditions dreadful airborne- all very competently handled. I, as a 38 year in the industry pilot flying heavy jets, would send my family with this chap anytime. Until you have handled jets at crosswind limits on wet runways and know the effect, I would not criticise. It is the only way to do it when it is like that. I have flown VC10s and 747s in Monsoons, Typhoons, Hurricanes, 737s in Icelandic storms (it's always stormy up there). You may rest assured this pilot was not hazarding your life! Ignore the keyboard Monday quarterbacks!
