B757 PIC CONCERNED WITH ORD CTLR'S COMMENTS WHEN PLT ASKED FOR AN ADDITIONAL WIND CHK.

Narrative

AT THE OM; RWY 14R ORD; ACFT (B757) INITIAL CONTACT TO ORD CTL TWR; CTLR RPTED 'WINDS 230 DEGS AT 25 KTS GUSTING TO 34 KTS.' FLT XXX: 'I WANT ANOTHER RPT AT 300 FT. IF GUSTS ARE OVER 30 KTS; WE ARE GOING AROUND.' CTLR'S XMISSION (NOT EXACT WORDS) 'EVERYONE ELSE HAS BEEN LNDG WITH THESE WINDS FOR THE PAST 1 HR.' FLT XXX 'REQUESTING RWY 22R FOR LNDG.' GAR ACCOMPLISHED; FOLLOWED BY LNDG ON RWY 22R. I FEEL THE COMMENT BY THE CTLR THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN LNDG ON THIS RWY FOR THE PAST HR WAS INAPPROPRIATE. LOOKING BACK AT THE METAR; RPTS SHOW THAT THE WINDS HAD BEEN INCREASING. WHILE A STEADY WIND AT 25 KTS IS CERTAINLY WITHIN LIMITS; IT IS THE GUSTS OVER THE LIMITS THAT MAKE THE LNDG CHALLENGING AND POSSIBLY A COMPROMISE TO SAFETY. AS A CAPT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF PAX; CREW; AND ACFT; THE CTLR'S COMMENT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. OTHER PLTS MAY FEEL PRESSURED INTO ACCEPTING HIS COMMENT AND PROCEEDING FOR LNDG; THUS COMPROMISING SAFETY. AFTER OUR REQUEST FOR RWY 22R; SUBSEQUENT ACFT DID GARS. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THEN THAT ORD MADE THE RWY CHANGE TO RWY 22L AND RWY 22R FOR LNDG ACFT. ALL I ASK IS; GIVE THE PLT THE INFO AND LET THE PLT MAKE THE DECISION.
