Narrative:

En route to tlh with intention of landing at pbi if able regarding fuel. Departed psp and prior to tlh it looked like we would not be able to meet fuel requirements at pbi (ie, 1500 pounds reserve). I asked the captain what he was going to do and he said 'I think we'll have enough fuel,' I said 'I'd like to land at tlh for a fuel stop.' he said 'we'll make it to pbi and won't need fuel stop.' we landed at pbi with 1260 pounds of fuel remaining. We are required to land with 1500 pounds. His decision against mine and he's the boss, so he got his way which turned out to be absolutely wrong.
