B737-300 FLC CROSSES ILS HOLD SHORT LINE AT BNA.

Narrative

WE WERE CLRED FROM THE GATE AREA TO TAXI VIA T6 TO TXWY L TO RWY 31 FOR TKOF. THE CAPT SLOWLY TAXIED UP TO THE RWY 31 APCH HOLD LINE. I TOLD THE CAPT 'YOU NEED TO HOLD SHORT OF THAT LINE.' HE SAID 'NO YOU DON'T; IT IS A CAT II HOLD SHORT LINE.' I SAID 'NO; YOU CAN'T TAXI PAST; IT IS A RWY 31 APCH HOLD SHORT LINE -- YOU CAN'T GO PAST!!!' HE SAID 'IT IS NOT MANDATORY.' I SAID 'IT IS MANDATORY! I HAVE READ IT FROM COMMERCIAL MATERIALS AND THE FAA!' HE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME. HE SLOWLY KEPT CREEPING FORWARD. I BEGGED HIM TO STOP! HE FINALLY DID; WITH THE NOSE 5 FT PAST RWY 31 APCH HOLD LINE. I TOLD HIM 'I HAVE HEARD BNA CHEW OTHER PLTS OUT FOR GOING PAST THAT LINE.' BNA AND AUS ARE THE ONLY ONES I KNEW THAT HAD THIS. THIS APCH 31 HOLE LINE IS NOT AT ALL CLOSE TO THE RWY IN ANY WAY; SO CAUSED NO CONFLICT. GND AND TWR SAID NOTHING TO US. HE SAID WE WOULD DISCUSS THIS IN THE AIR. SO IN CRUISE; WE LOOKED IT UP WITH AN FAA PUB I HAD WITH ME; PLUS USED THE COMMERCIAL CHART NOTES ON IT. AFTER HE READ ALL; HE AGREED THAT I WAS CORRECT. HE NEVER KNEW IT. I DID MY VERY BEST TO KEEP US HOLDING SHORT OF THAT LINE. AND TO MAKE IT CLR; IT WAS THE APCH RWY 31 HOLD SHORT LINE; NOT THE RWY 31 HOLD SHORT LINE.
