Narrative:

A normal scheduled flight began sunday afternoon. However, there were no passenger on our flight. This was very unusual for our specific flight. My captain was the PF for this leg. Our taxi to runway 1L at sfo was uneventful and routine. I had flown with this captain for the whole month and never once suspected he might try anything unsafe. We were cleared for takeoff with a runway heading clearance. I called the necessary callouts, V1, rotate.... My captain leveled the airplane about 5-10 ft off the runway and called for gear up, flaps up. I hesitated and told him this was not a good idea and an unsafe maneuver. At that time, he brought the gear up himself, and I reluctantly brought flaps up as we accelerated rapidly down the runway. Then, at approximately 180-190 KTS, he pulled back the yoke and pitched the nose up 20 degrees or more. An uneventful climb and cruise followed our (or his, in this case) maneuver. It made me extremely mad that he did not discuss the maneuver with me prior to departure, and did not make any effort to listen to me when I told him 'it was not a good idea, and that I did not like it.' this is a classic example of an ignorant captain having no respect for his first officer.
