What I mean is that atc's in NY constantly subject ac to crosswinds that are at or just below the ac max allowable wind. These decisions are capacity related. I have been told by FAA management that there is no degradation to safety landing in crosswind vs landing into the wind, regardless of velocity as long as it is within the parameters of the ac.
Capacity is king!!!!
