There is no substitude for experience, you only have watch airliners landing in x wind conditions these days
I wouldn't really use this as a measure for experience. The worst xwind landing I have seen in recent times (my own excluded) would have to be a 767 which resulted in a tail skid strike and go around. We could safely assume there was probably 20,000 hours plus in the front two seats based on the airline concerned. Point is, every one has bad days.
