Narrative:

We were given a taxi clearance to runway 20R. After crossing runway 15 we needed to make a right turn onto taxiway east, but we made a left turn onto taxiway east. The captain has the steering tiller, he was driving. I had the airport diagram open while running the taxi/before takeoff checks. I trusted the captain to know where he was going, as I know he has been to this airport many times. As he made the left turn, I thought it was the wrong way, so I asked the captain where he's going, if he is going the right way. His comment was 'just worry about the checklist and I'll worry about where we are going.' at this point we were crossing the hold short line for runway 10/28, I looked in both directions to clear the area for traffic, called it clear, then pulled the taxi diagram closer and confirmed we went the wrong way and showed the captain. At that point I think he knew, but didn't say anything. Next the ground controller advised us of our error, gave us runway length from intersection G then asked if we were aware that we crossed an active runway. I was upset at my captain and wanted to say more, but said 'I guess we did.' nothing further was said. The departure went without further incident. I think my captain's judgement was clouded because our whole day was wasted. The GPS issue, we went to dpa to have fixed, wasn't fixed. In our part 91 operation, the captain is king. I think more CRM could be helpful in avoiding this kind of incident.

Narrative: WE WERE GIVEN A TAXI CLRNC TO RWY 20R. AFTER XING RWY 15 WE NEEDED TO MAKE A R TURN ONTO TXWY E, BUT WE MADE A L TURN ONTO TXWY E. THE CAPT HAS THE STEERING TILLER, HE WAS DRIVING. I HAD THE ARPT DIAGRAM OPEN WHILE RUNNING THE TAXI/BEFORE TKOF CHKS. I TRUSTED THE CAPT TO KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOING, AS I KNOW HE HAS BEEN TO THIS ARPT MANY TIMES. AS HE MADE THE L TURN, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WRONG WAY, SO I ASKED THE CAPT WHERE HE'S GOING, IF HE IS GOING THE RIGHT WAY. HIS COMMENT WAS 'JUST WORRY ABOUT THE CHKLIST AND I'LL WORRY ABOUT WHERE WE ARE GOING.' AT THIS POINT WE WERE XING THE HOLD SHORT LINE FOR RWY 10/28, I LOOKED IN BOTH DIRECTIONS TO CLR THE AREA FOR TFC, CALLED IT CLR, THEN PULLED THE TAXI DIAGRAM CLOSER AND CONFIRMED WE WENT THE WRONG WAY AND SHOWED THE CAPT. AT THAT POINT I THINK HE KNEW, BUT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. NEXT THE GND CTLR ADVISED US OF OUR ERROR, GAVE US RWY LENGTH FROM INTXN G THEN ASKED IF WE WERE AWARE THAT WE CROSSED AN ACTIVE RWY. I WAS UPSET AT MY CAPT AND WANTED TO SAY MORE, BUT SAID 'I GUESS WE DID.' NOTHING FURTHER WAS SAID. THE DEP WENT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I THINK MY CAPT'S JUDGEMENT WAS CLOUDED BECAUSE OUR WHOLE DAY WAS WASTED. THE GPS ISSUE, WE WENT TO DPA TO HAVE FIXED, WASN'T FIXED. IN OUR PART 91 OP, THE CAPT IS KING. I THINK MORE CRM COULD BE HELPFUL IN AVOIDING THIS KIND OF INCIDENT.
