Human Factors; Procedure
I programmed the FMS for our flight from LAX. I looked at the route and entered the LAXX6 TRM transition into the Flight Plan. I asked the captain to verify the routing and we both agreed the routing and the FMS was set up correctly. We ran the checklists and pushed back for takeoff. Shortly after the takeoff just after the handoff to SoCal Departure and roughly 1;000 FT MSL ATC told us to go directly to PEVEE. I immediately noticed that that was part of the HOLTZ 9 RNAV SID. We quickly put the HOLTZ9 into the FMS and went direct to PEVEE. We had yet to start our turn to 220 which is part of the LAXX6 and therefore had no deviation. The Controller's timing was perfect and we continued with no issues. I believe this happened because of a simple human error. On the PDC there is a ROUTE section and then another section with the [revised] clearance. This can be confusing seeing both routes next to each other. From now on I will pay better attention to the PDC and continue to verify the FMS setup with the Captain. If I have any questions I will verbally ask for clarification.
Both members of the flight crew of a CRJ-700 failed to note the 'revised' routing on their PDC delivered ATC clearance which included a different SID from the filed route. Quick recognition of the problem and its resolution when handed off to Departure Control prevented any meaningful track deviation.
