Narrative:
After start checklist was completed. I called ground control for taxi clearance to takeoff. We were given instructions to taxi runway 14 and hold short of 22. I repeated taxi instructions 3 times before reaching runway 22 with an ok reply by the captain each time. As we turned left to hold short point of runway 22 I checked both directions looking for any traffic and there was none. At this time I realized that captain wasn't planning to hold short of runway 22 as instructed by tower. I instantly began saying, 'hold short!!' the captain's response to me was, 'no one is coming, I'm going to continue.' captain was correct about traffic, but if I would have stopped the aircraft myself at that point chances were very good that I would have injured our F/a's because they were doing their demonstration at this point. Captain insisted that I not say anything to ground controller and ground controller never said anything to us. This matter was addressed to ass't chief pilot.

I REPEATED TAXI INSTRUCTIONS 3 TIMES BEFORE REACHING RWY 22 WITH AN OK REPLY BY THE CAPT EACH TIME. AS WE TURNED LEFT TO HOLD SHORT POINT OF RWY 22 I CHKED BOTH DIRECTIONS LOOKING FOR ANY TFC AND THERE WAS NONE. AT THIS TIME I REALIZED THAT CAPT WASN'T PLANNING TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 22 AS INSTRUCTED BY TWR. I INSTANTLY BEGAN SAYING, 'HOLD SHORT!!' THE CAPT'S RESPONSE TO ME WAS, 'NO ONE IS COMING, I'M GOING TO CONTINUE.' CAPT WAS CORRECT ABOUT TFC, BUT IF I WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE ACFT MYSELF AT THAT POINT CHANCES WERE VERY GOOD THAT I WOULD HAVE INJURED OUR F/A'S BECAUSE THEY WERE DOING THEIR DEMONSTRATION AT THIS POINT. CAPT INSISTED THAT I NOT SAY ANYTHING TO GND CTLR AND GND CTLR NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO US. THIS MATTER WAS ADDRESSED TO ASS'T CHIEF PLT.
