Narrative:
I was using a contract pilot that had never flown with us before. He had many hours in our type of aircraft at a neighboring airport with control tower. I was setting up the navigation system and he was getting our clearance. I heard the controller say 'how long until you're ready to take off?' I never heard the controller say we were cleared for departure. We continued our taxi to the departure end of the runway. We did a few more checks and I asked the copilot if we were 'cleared to go.' he said 'on course and 300 ft.' we took off and contacted departure. The controller said that we had not been released. I guess I had assumed that the contract pilot had heard that we were cleared for departure and that he was more familiar with the departure procedures at an uncontrolled airport.
