FOM 3.14.
Captain is responsible as the point of contact for the entire crew. Captain will be consulted first on re routes. In the real world I have had CS contact me, a FO, about rerouting the crew. I have respectfully declined to do so because I have no knowledge of the physiological condition of the crew (rested, nurished, etc...) and did not want to say anything which would obligate a Captain.
The Captains I've flown with have always made the right call, whether it be "sure, we will be right over" to "no, we can't do that."
