I am considering jumping back into aviation after a 10+ year break. I am considering Republic as they have a base here in Kansas City and moving is not an option for me for the next few years.

What are my chances of getting MCI as my base?

I am in the process of picking up a CFI job to pick up some hours and currency before I apply. I have about 850 TT now. If there is a better option, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for any information you can provide.
