The cleared direct thread made me remember I wanted to post this.

Flying out of New Bern last week we climbed out on runway heading and then were given a 90 degree turn. We flew along for a while and Cherry Point gave told us "resume own navigation". Now, our filed route was a victor airway that headed south down to ILM and then made the turn west to Charlotte. The heading we were own was a NW heading and at no point in time would ever get us closer then 15 miles to our assigned route (all the way back to Charlotte). Did the controller just expect us to make a turn towards our route and join up or did he just forget to give us a heading to join? We asked him and he seemed sort of suprised and told us to turn left 60 degrees and join the victor airway. Were we just missing something obvious?
