Narrative:

We were cleared to land on runway 9R in miami and air carrier Z was cleared for takeoff and was informed that there was an aircraft on final. We asked if the air carrier Z was holding his position as he was just sitting there behind the hold lines, but we were cut off on the radio. Then the air carrier Z heavy moved into position. We asked the tower if he was going as we were now short final. Tower told air carrier Z again that he was cleared for takeoff and we were short final. Air carrier Z gave an excuse, 'we're heavy and we're loaded for london,' as if that really makes reason for his delay. We were told to go around as air carrier Z was just rolling down the runway. I have been told that air carrier Z has a reputation for doing that (pulling out when someone's on short final) to make the other airline's cost increase and miss their schedule.
