Narrative:
Took off from runway 32L. Cleared initially to 5000 ft. Upon reaching 5000 ft, cleared by chicago departure to 11000 ft, which the entire crew heard and the first officer read back to the controller. Passing 6000 ft, the controller asked if we were leveling at 6000 ft. The first officer replied 'negative' and that we had been cleared to 11000 ft. The controller then gave us a heading and cleared us to 11000 ft.
