Narrative:
At XA30 am local time I was on a king air 200 as PIC, however, I was 'PNF' at that time. At that hour, caldwell (cdw) tower was closed and I received my IFR clearance from new york TRACON 15 mins prior. The clearance was to depart runway 22 with a left turn to 180 degrees heading. While taxiing, the left seat PF taxied to runway 4 and proceeded to take off. Before I knew what had happened, I realized we were airborne and climbing out of 1200 ft AGL. I was very sick the night before and subsequently got very little sleep. I was feeling too sick to even leave my home but I went to work for fear of losing my job. With all of the pilots currently unemployed, my employer has been telling me that if I don't fly, he will find someone else who will. Never again, will I attempt to fly if I don't feel 100% well.
