Alycidon I'm still waiting for your response with regards to aileron in to wind on the Airbus.
The Airbus did require a SMALL amount of into wind aileron on take off in order to prevent the up wind wing from flying up during the T/O initial rotation. The amount, I seem to recall, was only the length of one of the arms of the control position indicator. So a pitiful amount even in very strong crosswinds!

On approach Airbus always pushed the 'Guide the path' mentality and the use of into wind aileron on a roll rate demand system was, indeed, discouraged. I was never too sure about the Airbus advice of not to pick up the roll in turbulence but let the FBW system do it, always scared the willies out of me! (LHR 27R strong southlies over the hangars!)

So, in this case, perhaps the speed calling FO would be correct.

Now, if we were discussing the Boeing .........
