Narrative:
Air carrier X instructed to fly the mountain 3 SID after departing runway 16L sea. I was flying with a captain from the training department who has a reputation as a very weak pilot. After takeoff I was busy with the radios and watching for traffic. After about 45 seconds I noticed that instead of flying the sea 158 degree radial as the SID says to the captain had turned the opposite direction so as to cross the extended centerline of the other departure runway. I told him we needed to turn left to intercept the 158 degree radial outbound. He complied. A few mins later as we were passing 10000 ft I was given a frequency change. When I finished the check-in, I looked at the airspeed, noticed captain had accelerated to 300 KTS out of 10000 ft, thus busting the 250 KT limit listed on the SID. I started to say something to him when controller came on and told us to 'resume normal speed,' which means something greater than 250 KTS.

Title: ACR X FAILED TO FOLLOW SID TRACT. HDG DEV AND SPD DEV.
Narrative: ACR X INSTRUCTED TO FLY THE MOUNTAIN 3 SID AFTER DEPARTING RWY 16L SEA. I WAS FLYING WITH A CAPT FROM THE TRAINING DEPT WHO HAS A REPUTATION AS A VERY WEAK PLT. AFTER TKOF I WAS BUSY WITH THE RADIOS AND WATCHING FOR TFC. AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS I NOTICED THAT INSTEAD OF FLYING THE SEA 158 DEG RADIAL AS THE SID SAYS TO THE CAPT HAD TURNED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SO AS TO CROSS THE EXTENDED CTRLINE OF THE OTHER DEP RWY. I TOLD HIM WE NEEDED TO TURN L TO INTERCEPT THE 158 DEG RADIAL OUTBOUND. HE COMPLIED. A FEW MINS LATER AS WE WERE PASSING 10000 FT I WAS GIVEN A FREQ CHANGE. WHEN I FINISHED THE CHK-IN, I LOOKED AT THE AIRSPD, NOTICED CAPT HAD ACCELERATED TO 300 KTS OUT OF 10000 FT, THUS BUSTING THE 250 KT LIMIT LISTED ON THE SID. I STARTED TO SAY SOMETHING TO HIM WHEN CTLR CAME ON AND TOLD US TO 'RESUME NORMAL SPD,' WHICH MEANS SOMETHING GREATER THAN 250 KTS.
