The original OP asked whether this technique was valid for big and small aircraft.

Some intially said yes, but many seemed to be very against (concensus NO). Some argued that you pull the upwind engine, others said the opposite (mass confusion). Others said they've done it in big jets, even those that have a different procedure listed by the manufacturer. Of the people who admitted that they've done it, they said they used it during extreme crosswind cases.

One smart individual said that this technique really isn't required because most airplanes can be landed using traditional crosswind controls. And if you can't, just land somewhere else.

As Jungle said, this is something you'll have to sort out with your Captain on approach, or perhaps the FAA if it gets ugly.
