We have crosswind limit guidance that are adjusted by braking action. Takeoff/land above them at the risk of your peril. I once diverted because a Delta 320 braking action poor, which put us well over the company's recomended x-wind limt. As I was flying away, there were Delta planes landing behind me. But quickly, I think guys caught on to my explanation of my divert decision as I heard quite a few pipe up and divert. We're not putting bombs on target, no reason to hang it out there.
