09 CPT departures don't fly the SID at all (Though there may be occasions when they do, but these are few and far between.) They get airborne on a heading. They conflict with the arrival stream. If they followed the SID, they would almost be flying backwards up the ILS. Apparently, they've been trying to change this SID for 20+ years...
