Narrative:

We were cleared by msy tower to land on runway 10. We were #2 and told to follow a heavy I had in sight. We followed the heavy and landed. As we touched down, I heard the tower clear a 737 for departure on runway 28. I then saw the 737 take the centerline and begin its takeoff roll. I was between taxiway a and B, so I kept my speed up and made the turn onto B as the B-737 began rotation somewhere near taxiway C. As I made my turn onto taxiway B, I asked the tower if I was cleared for bravo and they responded that I was, and to contact ground control.
