You spoke as if the pilot landing the jet in a serious cross wind was doing it wrong. Who was being arrogant, pointing out that you were wrong to criticize what you know little about?

Ok I have been number two for landing on very windy days and I am happily slipping it in no problem at all and I am watch the “professional” do all of this crazy $h1t, trying to flare and correct wing level and straighten the fuselage out all at once, should be illegal IMO. So there must be a reason for it. What doesn’t make sense are people telling me there is not enough rudder authority to side slip BUT aren’t you in essence doing a side slip right at flare about 50 feet off the ground when crabbing in a cross wind? It is crazy watching this from my point of view. I would appreciate an explanation to someone who has been flying for years, I fly commercial and some of the crap that goes on drives me crazy and this is one of them.
