Narrative:

During pushback, right engine system fail, right reverser fault illuminated and on left side engine generator would not come on line and a left AC fault illuminated. All 3 items require maintenance to clear and/or defer the item. (Engine system fail is not deferrable). The captain elected to take off and fly to maintenance facility in sjc. I don't agree with this but was overruled.
