Narrative:
As we were completing our landing rollout on runway 22, we noticed a B727 in the landing confign straight-in for runway 4. He was approximately 500 ft AGL when we called the tower and asked of his intentions. The tower promptly told B727 to go around. We exited the runway on taxiway G. Tower advised us they were planning on us exiting on taxiway H and would then clear B727 to land. We knew nothing about this prior to the event. Due to a displaced landing threshold, high density altitude and shortened runway, I elected to roll to the end, aware of our brake energy limits, completely unaware of the tower's plan or what they were doing with hawk. Opposite direction arrs and departures simultaneously happen continually at elp in a somewhat casual atmosphere. I believe this should be addressed by a higher authority/authorized to preclude this happening in the future.

Title: ON LNDG, THE CREW PASSED THE TWR'S EXPECTED, BUT UNANNOUNCED HIGH SPD TURNOFF, CAUSING A GAR.
Narrative: AS WE WERE COMPLETING OUR LNDG ROLLOUT ON RWY 22, WE NOTICED A B727 IN THE LNDG CONFIGN STRAIGHT-IN FOR RWY 4. HE WAS APPROX 500 FT AGL WHEN WE CALLED THE TWR AND ASKED OF HIS INTENTIONS. THE TWR PROMPTLY TOLD B727 TO GO AROUND. WE EXITED THE RWY ON TXWY G. TWR ADVISED US THEY WERE PLANNING ON US EXITING ON TXWY H AND WOULD THEN CLR B727 TO LAND. WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. DUE TO A DISPLACED LNDG THRESHOLD, HIGH DENSITY ALT AND SHORTENED RWY, I ELECTED TO ROLL TO THE END, AWARE OF OUR BRAKE ENERGY LIMITS, COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE TWR'S PLAN OR WHAT THEY WERE DOING WITH HAWK. OPPOSITE DIRECTION ARRS AND DEPS SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPEN CONTINUALLY AT ELP IN A SOMEWHAT CASUAL ATMOSPHERE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY A HIGHER AUTH TO PRECLUDE THIS HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE.
