Narrative:
On takeoff from boston logan, at 1000 ft, I turned the aircraft to a heading of 140 degrees. The takeoff runway was runway 27. This was the wrong heading for runway 27. On arrival at bos 1 hour earlier, aircraft were departing on runway 22. I set up and briefed for what I believed would be the departure runway. When we called for taxi, runway 27 was assigned. Both pilots are 'new' to boston, and our concentration was on how to find our way to the runway. We were very concerned considering that intersecting runways were in use. Neither pilot noted the change in heading after takeoff. Recommendation: controllers issue initial heading with takeoff clearance. This would 'alert' pilots to errors or changes.

Title: AN ACR B727 FLC USED THE WRONG DEP PROC AFTER A RWY CHANGE BEFORE THEIR TKOF. THE FLC HAD BRIEFED THE DEP FOR THE PREVIOUS RWY.
Narrative: ON TKOF FROM BOSTON LOGAN, AT 1000 FT, I TURNED THE ACFT TO A HDG OF 140 DEGS. THE TKOF RWY WAS RWY 27. THIS WAS THE WRONG HEADING FOR RWY 27. ON ARR AT BOS 1 HR EARLIER, ACFT WERE DEPARTING ON RWY 22. I SET UP AND BRIEFED FOR WHAT I BELIEVED WOULD BE THE DEP RWY. WHEN WE CALLED FOR TAXI, RWY 27 WAS ASSIGNED. BOTH PLTS ARE 'NEW' TO BOSTON, AND OUR CONCENTRATION WAS ON HOW TO FIND OUR WAY TO THE RWY. WE WERE VERY CONCERNED CONSIDERING THAT INTERSECTING RWYS WERE IN USE. NEITHER PLT NOTED THE CHANGE IN HEADING AFTER TKOF. RECOMMENDATION: CTLRS ISSUE INITIAL HEADING WITH TKOF CLRNC. THIS WOULD 'ALERT' PLTS TO ERRORS OR CHANGES.
