Commuting from KMCI
 
There was a poster that asked about which regional would be good if he were commuting out of Lubbock. My question is similiar - what regional would be good to commute to from Kansas City?

Thanks!

I would suggest SkyWest and get based in MKE. I used to be in MKE and many crewmembers I flew with that did this commute said it was really easy. Sounds like an odd commute, but there are a few good reasons to consider it:
1) Midwest has a ton of flights between MKE and MCI (it's their two hubs), and they are usually fairly open.
2) Some of our trips begin or end with a deadhead from MKE-MCI or MCI-MKE. Commuters love this because they only have to commute one way, and they get paid for the deadhead that they don't have to take.
3) We have a lot of long (ie 23 hour) MCI overnights, so you can always just go home for the night.
4) There is still a chance we could open an MCI domicile, although I can see it going senior just based on how people were talking.

Just thought you would be interested!

I think 1/2 the TSA is employed at that airport.

Thanks - Really appreciate the post and the info. Would be a great deal. Skywest would be a great place.

Do the TSA guys living here hold St. Louis as a domicile?

Sorry - thought you were saying "TSA guys" as in Trans States, not TSA as in the security people.

KCI does have many of them it seems - unfortunately, numbers do not seem to add up to speed or efficiency.
