The route can be loaded, but it is standard procedure NOT to load a SID until ATC clearance has been obtained. Thus it would raise hackles if someone did it. One also does not preset first cleared SID altitude on the Mode Select Panel, instead leaving it at x900' (below expected first altitude) until ATC clearance is obtained. I think this is general for pretty well all airlines now.
