I am going to bump this thread just because I am potentially moving from the NYC area to the KC area. I have been looking at NYC area regionals and have a CJO with Endeavor. My wife has a potential job opportunity in KC and we would be moving in the next 6-8 months. From what I can tell I will have to commute out of KC anyways so that pretty much leaves the door wide open for any regional. I know TSA has a STL base but the pay/contract is not as good as 9E's (imo). It sounds like RAH wont have the MCI base forever so I am not really even factoring that into my decision now. Is there anyone on here that commutes out of MCI and if so what are your thoughts? Thanks a lot!

You should look at Executive AirShare in KC. Not a bad gig and pay and benefits are far better than a regional. Be home a hell of a lot more. Fly King Air or Phenom 100/300s.

Why would any one go to a carrier that's in the middle of bankruptcy.
Endeavor all the way.

I have looked into them. I'm currently flying for a 135 doing similar work and want to get into the 121 world. Thanks for the tip though!

It seems like things are looking up especially after the AA contract this week. But I agree that endeavor is much more stable.

I know of folks who have commuted to MSP and DTW for 9E from MCI. At least from DTW it's mainline service and you also have Spirit as an option.

That's good to hear. A one leg commute is definitely ideal.

And you'll find 9E flying to LGA from MCI from time to time as well, so that wouldn't be a terrible option, if you have to do that short term at 9E.

I have family in the NY area so being NY based for a while and commuting would not be the worst. I have been looking at the flights out of MCI and it seems like MSP, ORD, DFW, and NYC have a lot of options.
