Check Airman, I understand that your airline has no limits for FO's in the forst 100 hours, But when you fly with an FO who has 101 hours on type, do you allow him to land in a 38 knot crosswind? Or any other FO for that matter? When WOULD you take the landing fom an FO, if at all?
It's easy to say 'we don't have limits for FO's' but that puts responsability squarely on the shoulders of the captain. Some FO's I'd trust with any crosswind, purely because I have watched them land before in challenging conditions and know their abilities. Others...let's say I am happy that my airline wants me to take over at anything beyond 20 kts. I have no interest in finding about out my FO's talents during limiting conditions.
