Narrative:

We were instructed by ground control to taxi across runway 17R at ej. We were to hold between the 2 runways awaiting the edct. Ground control cleared us to cross runway 17R at ej. As I looked toward short final, I noticed an S80 side-stepping to runway 17R. The first officer again asked the ground controller if we were cleared to cross runway 17R at ej and the controller repeated 'cleared to cross at ej.' we decided to hold short and had an S80 land on runway 17R as we held short at ej. The controller then said 'thanks' and cleared us to cross as the S80 rolled out.
