Narrative:

Early morning departure, coupled with a short overnight due to re-rtes and WX contributed to this misinterp. Bradley clearance delivery read the full clearance for our flight from bdl direct mco. The first officer and myself each copied the clearance as it was given. The first officer read back approximately the first 6 fixes and continued with 'as filed.' each of us had performed this flight numerous times, and the clearance appeared no different from previous occasions. Crossing chs, we proceeded along the 217 degree radial (J121) to the milie intersection, as on the flight plan, we thought it was on our clearance. ZJX queried our route after passing chs, if we were to fly J55 to sav, and J103 to milie, then as filed. Our response was 'no,' and that we were filed chs J121 milie. After reviewing each others scratch paper with the clrncs, it was discovered that we were in fact routed chs J55 sav J102 milie in lieu of our normal flight plan. ATC expressed no concern, and the flight terminated uneventfully.

Title: AN MLG ACR FLC USES THE WRONG AIRWAY ON THEIR FLT FROM BDL TO MCO.

Narrative: EARLY MORNING DEP, COUPLED WITH A SHORT OVERNIGHT DUE TO RE-RTES AND WX CONTRIBUTED TO THIS MISINTERP. BRADLEY CLRNC DELIVERY READ THE FULL CLRNC FOR OUR FLT FROM BDL DIRECT MCO. THE FO AND MYSELF EACH COPIED THE CLRNC AS IT WAS GIVEN. THE FO READ BACK APPROX THE FIRST 6 FIXES AND CONTINUED WITH 'AS FILED.' EACH OF US HAD PERFORMED THIS FLT NUMEROUS TIMES, AND THE CLRNC APPEARED NO DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. XING CHS, WE PROCEEDED ALONG THE 217 DEG RADIAL (J121) TO THE MILIE INTXN, AS ON THE FLT PLAN, WE THOUGHT IT WAS ON OUR CLRNC. ZJX QUERIED OUR RTE AFTER PASSING CHS, IF WE WERE TO FLY J55 TO SAV, AND J103 TO MILIE, THEN AS FILED. OUR RESPONSE WAS 'NO,' AND THAT WE WERE FILED CHS J121 MILIE. AFTER REVIEWING EACH OTHERS SCRATCH PAPER WITH THE CLRNCS, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT WE WERE IN FACT ROUTED CHS J55 SAV J102 MILIE IN LIEU OF OUR NORMAL FLT PLAN. ATC EXPRESSED NO CONCERN, AND THE FLT TERMINATED UNEVENTFULLY.
