I think the 10º you're referring to is the tail strike limitation in the 319/320 and 7.5º for the 321. There have been tail strikes and there isn't a pitch limit like that imposed in landing mode. As for crosswind landings, you're just stirring paint (side stick to the limits left and right) but they always seems to work out fine. I've enjoyed watching the 737 guys come over to the Airbus as the 737 was retired, push-pull-push...push when they were trying to manage their descent. In the end, though, the bus is a much nicer environment, it lowers your stress (once you accept that the French way is, well, different) because you're comfortable and it does its job nicely. If I were really here to be a pilot and fly a real Boeing I'd bid the 75. But I'm not. I'm here to do my time, keep my stress level low and go home. Another joy is having room for your bags and the bags of 3 others. Bid what's easiest and most comfortable, that's my suggestion!
