Give that man a raise
first of all, a 75mph head wind isn't a big deal so it had to be a cross wind making it an issue..
second, a cross wind of that magnitude is a considerable danger for landing, questioning why the pilot didn't look for an alternative airport with better conditions.
rather than being given a raise the pilot should be given a serious review for questionable decision making.

Had a flight like that in Denver a few years ago. 65 mph winds on the ground and it felt like the plane did that same exact thing. Every passenger was white as a ghost or elbows deep in the barf bag. Fun shite.

Pilot pulls off incredible landing as Boeing 777 fights 75 mph winds
there was no wind the pilot was just drunk and getting blown by a model.

The worse wind I ever landed in the embraer when I flew for united express was 40 knots in Newark. Got a wind shear warning did a go-around, came back and landed easily the second time.
I've been on 737's that have been rerouted because of 55 knot crosswinds before, more than once. I appreciated it.

Watch this and skip to about 2:25. Talk about having to trust your equipment.

I fly by puddle jumper to Skagway often. Landing in wind is fairly typical.
Not sure I'd let the pilot live after this though.

Well done! That pilot has a few skills!

Would love to see the heart rate monitor on those pilots.

you know, modern meteorology is supposed to prevent this kind of shite from ever having to happen. That's an airline I'm going to try to never fly with again.

That touch-down looked incredibly smooth after all of the pitching that plane did.
No offense, but wasnt that roll more than pitch?

My thoughts exactly.
I wish that the video would have had some in-cabin audio.
