CB's

Hey Guys,

Not sure if I have posted it in the right place but here goes.

I am quite a new FO with my company, but the other week on my third flight with a new Captain something happend that I am really not sure how to address.

Coming out of an airport in Europe with active CB's around at night with the weather radar u/s, we were faced with the problem of continue on or divert back due to the CB's.

But the thing that concearned me the most was that my Captain said if we can't get past the CB's, that we will go under them instead.
Now I immiediatley questioned this as I was always tought that this was almost suicide and you keep away from CB's at all costs.

But I was made to feel embarrassed to question the Captain which he did not really like and that I was wrong and that you could fly under CB's at night with a high MSA and be safe. I also feel a bit unsafe every time I fly with him.

Just wondering if any of you guys have some advice on this and to whether you think I was right as I am starting to question my own judgement a bit. Hes a really nice chap, but I question his Captaincy.

Many thanks
