Narrative:

Our flight had received a 'cleared to lnd' clearance on runway 09R. A clearance was given to another aircraft to takeoff on runway 12 with the controller adding the aircraft landing on runway 09R will hold short of your runway. While this transmission was made I was completing the final checklist items which require verbal callouts by our operating procedures and I did not hear all of the towers transmission to the aircraft departing on runway 12. We had cockpit jumpseat pilot who is a captain and he clearly overhead the transmission and noted the position of the aircraft departing on runway 12 relative to our position and it was apparent to him that there would not be a conflict with our aircraft. Noting that, he did not interrupt the sterile period just before touchdown with this information, however, relayed it to me once we were parked at the gate. We have situation here where we were the landing aircraft and not given a hold short, but the departing aircraft on a cross runway was given a takeoff clearance and told that we were on a lnd and hold short clearance which was not correct. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reported is an IOE check airman for his air carrier. He was giving a fully qualified captain the air carrier int'l qualification into south america and mroc. The captain was an observer member of the crew. Reporter thought that the tower operation at mia for the last six months has begun to loosen up with an increasing number of controller mistakes being observed. This was the most serious example.

Title: B757-200 CREW HAD CONFLICT WITH DEPARTING ACFT IN MIA. DEPARTING ACFT ON RWY 12 WAS TOLD ACFT LNDG ON RWY 9R WOULD HOLD SHORT. LNDG B757 WAS NOT TOLD TO HOLD SHORT.

Narrative: OUR FLT HAD RECEIVED A 'CLRED TO LND' CLRNC ON RWY 09R. A CLRNC WAS GIVEN TO ANOTHER ACFT TO TKOF ON RWY 12 WITH THE CTLR ADDING THE ACFT LNDG ON RWY 09R WILL HOLD SHORT OF YOUR RWY. WHILE THIS XMISSION WAS MADE I WAS COMPLETING THE FINAL CHKLIST ITEMS WHICH REQUIRE VERBAL CALLOUTS BY OUR OPERATING PROCS AND I DID NOT HEAR ALL OF THE TWRS XMISSION TO THE ACFT DEPARTING ON RWY 12. WE HAD COCKPIT JUMPSEAT PLT WHO IS A CAPT AND HE CLEARLY OVERHEAD THE XMISSION AND NOTED THE POS OF THE ACFT DEPARTING ON RWY 12 RELATIVE TO OUR POS AND IT WAS APPARENT TO HIM THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE A CONFLICT WITH OUR ACFT. NOTING THAT, HE DID NOT INTERRUPT THE STERILE PERIOD JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN WITH THIS INFO, HOWEVER, RELAYED IT TO ME ONCE WE WERE PARKED AT THE GATE. WE HAVE SIT HERE WHERE WE WERE THE LNDG ACFT AND NOT GIVEN A HOLD SHORT, BUT THE DEPARTING ACFT ON A CROSS RWY WAS GIVEN A TKOF CLRNC AND TOLD THAT WE WERE ON A LND AND HOLD SHORT CLRNC WHICH WAS NOT CORRECT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTED IS AN IOE CHK AIRMAN FOR HIS ACR. HE WAS GIVING A FULLY QUALIFIED CAPT THE ACR INT'L QUALIFICATION INTO SOUTH AMERICA AND MROC. THE CAPT WAS AN OBSERVER MEMBER OF THE CREW. RPTR THOUGHT THAT THE TWR OP AT MIA FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAS BEGUN TO LOOSEN UP WITH AN INCREASING NUMBER OF CTLR MISTAKES BEING OBSERVED. THIS WAS THE MOST SERIOUS EXAMPLE.
