Narrative:
This event began prior to intercepting the G/south (ie, prior to the final approach fix) on the ILS 10R approach to the boise air terminal. As first officer, I was flying the approach (captain monitored in accordance with company operation specifications). The boise tower called the T/D RVR as 800, rollout RVR, 6000. Against my better judgement the captain elected to continue the approach. At 100' hat, the captain took control of the aircraft, an light transport, and proceeded to land. At no time during the flare, or landing did I see any portion of the approach lighting system, reils, odals, MALSR, etc. Immediately prior to T/D I saw one runway edge light landing was uneventful. I highly doubt the captain saw anything either. An intimidating atmosphere fostered by the PIC was clearly causative to this occurrence. The captain mentioned prior to the approach (and below 10000') how important it was for us to make the approach because he had to be home for breakfast. While we both should have recognized the need to abandon the approach, the capts authority and impatience prevailed.

Title: NEW HIRE FO COMPLAINS OF INTIMIDATION BY CAPT AND THE UNAUTH APCH TO LNDG WHEN BELOW MINIMUMS RVR WAS REPORTED OUTSIDE HE FAF AND DOWN INTO LNDG.
Narrative: THIS EVENT BEGAN PRIOR TO INTERCEPTING THE G/S (IE, PRIOR TO THE FINAL APCH FIX) ON THE ILS 10R APCH TO THE BOISE AIR TERMINAL. AS F/O, I WAS FLYING THE APCH (CAPT MONITORED IAW COMPANY OP SPECS). THE BOISE TWR CALLED THE T/D RVR AS 800, ROLLOUT RVR, 6000. AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT THE CAPT ELECTED TO CONTINUE THE APCH. AT 100' HAT, THE CAPT TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT, AN LTT, AND PROCEEDED TO LAND. AT NO TIME DURING THE FLARE, OR LNDG DID I SEE ANY PORTION OF THE APCH LIGHTING SYS, REILS, ODALS, MALSR, ETC. IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO T/D I SAW ONE RWY EDGE LIGHT LNDG WAS UNEVENTFUL. I HIGHLY DOUBT THE CAPT SAW ANYTHING EITHER. AN INTIMIDATING ATMOSPHERE FOSTERED BY THE PIC WAS CLRLY CAUSATIVE TO THIS OCCURRENCE. THE CAPT MENTIONED PRIOR TO THE APCH (AND BELOW 10000') HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS FOR US TO MAKE THE APCH BECAUSE HE HAD TO BE HOME FOR BREAKFAST. WHILE WE BOTH SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO ABANDON THE APCH, THE CAPTS AUTHORITY AND IMPATIENCE PREVAILED.
