Narrative:

Prior to departure, captain asked for sic to brief him on the departure clearance he had been issued. Sic readback the departure as the 'den three' and then read the procedure directly off of the SID plate. The crew taxied out, obtained takeoff clearance and departure. Immediately after departure we were turned over to departure. The sic checked in at 7600 ft for 10000 ft. The controller immediately cleared us to FL230. A min or two later the controller called and asked us where we got 10000 ft, to which the sic replied, 'from the den three SID.' the controller then said, 'you never received anything else?' to which the sic replied, 'no.' I then asked the sic to check what he had written down for his clearance. He then discovered the clearance to be to 8000 ft. We called the controller back and told him. Conclusion: make sure in two pilot crews both crewmembers see the issued clearance and not just the SID clearance. I never knew our clearance differed.

Title: AN ALT OVERSHOOT ON DEP FROM DEN RESULTS FROM A BRIEFING OF THE PF BY THE SIC THAT WAS INCORRECT.

Narrative: PRIOR TO DEP, CAPT ASKED FOR SIC TO BRIEF HIM ON THE DEP CLRNC HE HAD BEEN ISSUED. SIC READBACK THE DEP AS THE 'DEN THREE' AND THEN READ THE PROCEDURE DIRECTLY OFF OF THE SID PLATE. THE CREW TAXIED OUT, OBTAINED TKOF CLRNC AND DEP. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEP WE WERE TURNED OVER TO DEP. THE SIC CHKED IN AT 7600 FT FOR 10000 FT. THE CTLR IMMEDIATELY CLEARED US TO FL230. A MIN OR TWO LATER THE CTLR CALLED AND ASKED US WHERE WE GOT 10000 FT, TO WHICH THE SIC REPLIED, 'FROM THE DEN THREE SID.' THE CTLR THEN SAID, 'YOU NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING ELSE?' TO WHICH THE SIC REPLIED, 'NO.' I THEN ASKED THE SIC TO CHK WHAT HE HAD WRITTEN DOWN FOR HIS CLRNC. HE THEN DISCOVERED THE CLRNC TO BE TO 8000 FT. WE CALLED THE CTLR BACK AND TOLD HIM. CONCLUSION: MAKE SURE IN TWO PLT CREWS BOTH CREWMEMBERS SEE THE ISSUED CLRNC AND NOT JUST THE SID CLRNC. I NEVER KNEW OUR CLRNC DIFFERED.
