Narrative:
After landing on runway 24R told to hold short of runway 24L at 'north' we were holding short of first (applicable) hold short bars for runway 24L. When ATC cleared an aircraft (cessna jet) to takeoff. Aircraft took off and passed over our plane. Spoke to mr. X, a supervisor at the TRACON and he said there was an error and it will be investigated. Also airplane was perpendicular to tower cabin attendant so we were very visible to tower. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter confirmed, even though he was stopped at the runway 24L hold/short line, most of his B737-800 was still on runway 24R when the tower cleared the twin jet for takeoff. Reporter also estimated that the citation jet passed overhead his aircraft approximately 500 ft. Reporter also verified that both aircraft were on the local frequency.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CLE TWR CLRS A CITATION JET FOR TKOF ON RWY 24R WITH A B737-800 ARRIVAL HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 24L AND POSSIBLY NOT COMPLETELY CLR OF RWY 24R.
Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON RWY 24R TOLD TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 24L AT 'N' WE WERE HOLDING SHORT OF FIRST (APPLICABLE) HOLD SHORT BARS FOR RWY 24L. WHEN ATC CLRED AN ACFT (CESSNA JET) TO TKOF. ACFT TOOK OFF AND PASSED OVER OUR PLANE. SPOKE TO MR. X, A SUPVR AT THE TRACON AND HE SAID THERE WAS AN ERROR AND IT WILL BE INVESTIGATED. ALSO AIRPLANE WAS PERPENDICULAR TO TWR CAB SO WE WERE VERY VISIBLE TO TWR. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR CONFIRMED, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STOPPED AT THE RWY 24L HOLD/SHORT LINE, MOST OF HIS B737-800 WAS STILL ON RWY 24R WHEN THE TWR CLRED THE TWIN JET FOR TKOF. RPTR ALSO ESTIMATED THAT THE CITATION JET PASSED OVERHEAD HIS ACFT APPROX 500 FT. RPTR ALSO VERIFIED THAT BOTH ACFT WERE ON THE LOCAL FREQ.
