Narrative:

Captain's leg. On departure out of sfo on runway 1R, he flies runway heading instead of turning right to 030 degrees as SID instructed. Departure asked for heading. Told them 015 degrees. Departure instructed a turn to 030 degrees. Captain turned to 050 degrees. When I told him 030 degrees, he said, 'I'm getting us where we're supposed to be.' I should have caught the heading error, but didn't, even though I had 030 degree heading set. The departure briefing given by the captain was 'we'll get it on the way out,' which is what he said for every leg, so I should have been better prepared. There were no traffic conflicts, but it was embarrassing nonetheless.

Title: B727 DEVIATES FROM SID HDG ON DEP IN OAK AIRSPACE.

Narrative: CAPT'S LEG. ON DEP OUT OF SFO ON RWY 1R, HE FLIES RWY HDG INSTEAD OF TURNING R TO 030 DEGS AS SID INSTRUCTED. DEP ASKED FOR HDG. TOLD THEM 015 DEGS. DEP INSTRUCTED A TURN TO 030 DEGS. CAPT TURNED TO 050 DEGS. WHEN I TOLD HIM 030 DEGS, HE SAID, 'I'M GETTING US WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.' I SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE HDG ERROR, BUT DIDN'T, EVEN THOUGH I HAD 030 DEG HDG SET. THE DEP BRIEFING GIVEN BY THE CAPT WAS 'WE'LL GET IT ON THE WAY OUT,' WHICH IS WHAT HE SAID FOR EVERY LEG, SO I SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PREPARED. THERE WERE NO TFC CONFLICTS, BUT IT WAS EMBARRASSING NONETHELESS.
