Ditto NG Kaptain,
I feel four the guys, when will the powers that be realise that crosswind limits are just that. It doesn't mean every landing below the crosswind limit is safe. Agree with the AA boys and NG's last comment. More of us should refuse landings under those conditions. SYD sometimes can be as guilty as JFK at times, using 16R/34L because politics say so.
See you soon guys.
