Narrative:

On arrival, landed runway 9R lined up with numerous aircraft waiting to cross runway 9L. When we were number 3 to cross runway 9L, tower (local 1) crossed 3 aircraft (2-b737s and us) at once and sent us to ramp control, all while handling a go-around on runway 9R. The aircraft ahead blocked access to the outer taxiway, and other aircraft blocked the inner and the alley. We initially stopped with the entire aircraft on the runway (inside the hold lines) as tower (local 2) put an aircraft into position on runway 9L. We attempted to move forward as much as possible with the aircraft (Z) in front of us, but our wings were about even with the hold short lines. We attempted to reach our ramp tower to advise them of the situation, but were repeatedly told to 'standby.' we also attempted to contact tower (local 1), but received no response. We observed the aircraft on runway 9L begin his takeoff roll, so we moved forward as much as possible and diagonally to the left in an attempt to clear the runway. We could not! The aircraft on runway 9L continued his takeoff (A319). We finally were able to contact tower (local 1) and he informed us that the ground radar showed us clear of the runway. We were not! Aircraft ahead finally moved forward and we proceeded to the gate. No further aircraft departed runway 9L until we proceeded to the ramp. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter advised situation addressed with company and tower spokesman, but has not received any feedback.

Narrative: ON ARRIVAL, LANDED RWY 9R LINED UP WITH NUMEROUS AIRCRAFT WAITING TO CROSS RWY 9L. WHEN WE WERE NUMBER 3 TO CROSS RWY 9L, TOWER (LOCAL 1) CROSSED 3 AIRCRAFT (2-B737S AND US) AT ONCE AND SENT US TO RAMP CONTROL, ALL WHILE HANDLING A GO-AROUND ON RWY 9R. THE AIRCRAFT AHEAD BLOCKED ACCESS TO THE OUTER TXWY, AND OTHER ACFT BLOCKED THE INNER AND THE ALLEY. WE INITIALLY STOPPED WITH THE ENTIRE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY (INSIDE THE HOLD LINES) AS TOWER (LOCAL 2) PUT AN AIRCRAFT INTO POSITION ON RWY 9L. WE ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITH THE AIRCRAFT (Z) IN FRONT OF US, BUT OUR WINGS WERE ABOUT EVEN WITH THE HOLD SHORT LINES. WE ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUR RAMP TOWER TO ADVISE THEM OF THE SITUATION, BUT WERE REPEATEDLY TOLD TO 'STANDBY.' WE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT TOWER (LOCAL 1), BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. WE OBSERVED THE AIRCRAFT ON RWY 9L BEGIN HIS TAKEOFF ROLL, SO WE MOVED FORWARD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND DIAGONALLY TO THE LEFT IN AN ATTEMPT TO CLEAR THE RUNWAY. WE COULD NOT! THE AIRCRAFT ON RWY 9L CONTINUED HIS TAKEOFF (A319). WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO CONTACT TOWER (LOCAL 1) AND HE INFORMED US THAT THE GROUND RADAR SHOWED US CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY. WE WERE NOT! AIRCRAFT AHEAD FINALLY MOVED FORWARD AND WE PROCEEDED TO THE GATE. NO FURTHER AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RWY 9L UNTIL WE PROCEEDED TO THE RAMP. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR ADVISED SITUATION ADDRESSED WITH COMPANY AND TOWER SPOKESMAN, BUT HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK.
