Quote from A37575:
"For heaven's sake the the cockpit is not a democracy nor is it a committee decision. In such a time critical situation the captain is empowered by law to be in sole command. "Agreeing together" before the captain ditches the aircraft is not CRM or TEM and the time is well overdue for some first officers to realise that their task is to give support where the captain requires it - not to demand a committee approach to every action or decision the captain may choose to make"

Ageegeah! This hardly comes under the umbrella of "every action or decision the captain may choose to make"

Are you divorced from your wife ?
