Narrative:

After uneventful flight from jacksonville, fl, we were taxiing in toward our gate. Captain was taxiing the aircraft. I was handling radios. I called ramp control from intersection T3 to get clearance to gate. Another company jet was taxiing on taxiway F headed northeast. Ramp controller cleared us from intersection T2 to park, which is further down taxiway B. Captain did not hear clearance to turn on T2 and he turned on T3 in front of the jet. The controller had in fact wanted us to turn behind the jet. By the time I could alert him that we were supposed to turn on T2, we were committed to T3. We passed in front of the jet about 500 meters. I advised ramp controller of our error, and he became agitated. The 2 aircraft did not pass dangerously close. The cause of confusion was the captain not hearing the instructions due to us monitoring 3 frequencys at once. (Ground control, ramp control, and operations). Also a factor was the captain's relative unfamiliarity with the txwys and intxns at rdu. (He was new to the domicile).

Title: COMMUTER ACFT MAKES WRONG TURN ON TXWY AND PASSES IN FRONT OF ANOTHER ACFT INSTEAD OF PASSING BEHIND THE ACFT AS INSTRUCTED. TAXIING TFC. PROX OF TFC. WRONG TXWY USED.

Narrative: AFTER UNEVENTFUL FLT FROM JACKSONVILLE, FL, WE WERE TAXIING IN TOWARD OUR GATE. CAPT WAS TAXIING THE ACFT. I WAS HANDLING RADIOS. I CALLED RAMP CTL FROM INTXN T3 TO GET CLRNC TO GATE. ANOTHER COMPANY JET WAS TAXIING ON TXWY F HEADED NE. RAMP CTLR CLRED US FROM INTXN T2 TO PARK, WHICH IS FURTHER DOWN TXWY B. CAPT DID NOT HEAR CLRNC TO TURN ON T2 AND HE TURNED ON T3 IN FRONT OF THE JET. THE CTLR HAD IN FACT WANTED US TO TURN BEHIND THE JET. BY THE TIME I COULD ALERT HIM THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TURN ON T2, WE WERE COMMITTED TO T3. WE PASSED IN FRONT OF THE JET ABOUT 500 METERS. I ADVISED RAMP CTLR OF OUR ERROR, AND HE BECAME AGITATED. THE 2 ACFT DID NOT PASS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE. THE CAUSE OF CONFUSION WAS THE CAPT NOT HEARING THE INSTRUCTIONS DUE TO US MONITORING 3 FREQS AT ONCE. (GND CTL, RAMP CTL, AND OPS). ALSO A FACTOR WAS THE CAPT'S RELATIVE UNFAMILIARITY WITH THE TXWYS AND INTXNS AT RDU. (HE WAS NEW TO THE DOMICILE).
