Per the last paragraph on page 7 of the report, there is ALWAYS an altitude restriction or top altitude in the SID when this phraseology is used. The failure of the crew to recognise this at the time they received their clearance was another missed opportunity to catch their error of omission.

Curious that this factor is not listed in the discussion as it suggests that the operator's efforts to educate its flight crews regarding this new phraseology was ineffective, at least in the case of the crew involved in this incident.
