Narrative:
We were cleared to position and hold on runway 19 in dca, and cleared for an immediate takeoff as the previous landing aircraft was clearing the runway. As the engines were spooling up, we were instructed by the tower to abort the takeoff and clear the runway at the next intersection. As we cleared, we could see an airbus at approximately 50 ft on final. We should not have been cleared onto the runway in the first place.
