FLC OF A BEECH 1900 WAS INSTRUCTED TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY AFTER LNDG FOR A B737 THAT WOULD BE TAXIING PAST IN FRONT OF THEM. HOWEVER; THERE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT ROOM TO LEGALLY CLR THE RWY ON WHICH ANOTHER ACFT WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. GND CTL QUESTIONED RPTR AS TO WHY HE WAS NOT TAXIING ON IN FRONT OF THE B737.

Narrative

WE WERE TOLD BY TWR AT BOS; AFTER LNDG RWY 4L; TO TURN OFF AT TXWY Q. AT TXWY Q WE WERE TOLD TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY K FOR A B737. WE HELD SHORT THEN CONTACTED GND CTL. GND CTL THEN TOLD US WE WERE NOT CLR OF THE RWY; WE COULD NOT CLR THE RWY BECAUSE THE B737 WAS COMING AROUND THE CORNER HDG S ON TXWY K. THE AIRPLANE WAS CLR OF THE RWY; BUT NOT 'LEGALLY' CLR OF THE LINE. WE COULD NOT PROCEED FORWARD BECAUSE WE WOULD BE RUN OVER BY THE B737. THE CTLR FREAKED OUT AT US; BECAUSE HE HAD CLRED; OR TWR CTLR HAD CLRED; A DASH 8 FOR TKOF ON RWY 4L -- SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM BTWN TXWY Q AND TXWY K WHEN ANOTHER ACFT IS ON TXWY K -- ESPECIALLY JET TFC. WE COULD NOT SAFELY CLR THE RWY WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF THE ACFT BECAUSE OF JET TFC ON TXWY K. BOS GND INSTRUCTED ME TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF A B737; CONTRARY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE TWR. GND THEN TOLD B737 TO STOP. THEY DID STOP; WHICH THEN ALLOWED ME TO CLR THE RWY. THE CTLR THEN BERATED ME ON GND FOR NOT CLRING THE RWY. I BRIEFLY EXPLAINED THE SIT TO HIM; TO WHICH HE TRIED TO BLAME US FOR THE SIT. WE OPERATED THE ACFT IN A SAFE MANNER. TWR AND GND NEED TO WORK BETTER AS A TEAM TO PREVENT SUCH OCCURRENCES; PLACING CREWS IN HARM'S WAY.
