What's making you want to be based at MCI? I don't see any non-stop flights at all between those two cities. IMO you'd be much better off commuting to DCA. 4 non-stop flights a day, and 3 of them are Republic (a.k.a. you'll have better priority). Plus, it's much closer.

I don't want to be based there but I am stuck there for at least the month of May. But I have to commute from JAX for military purposes. I actually put my bids in for DCA and didn't get it. Trying to keep a positive attitude about it but this is sounding more and more impossible as I ask around.

I would put a standing bid in for DCA, LGA, and PHL just to get out of MCI as soon as possible.
Feel free to PM me if you need any more specific info. You're actually ahead of me in seniority, but I've spent a ton of time figuring this stuff out for my own commute I'm going to have to start making in a month or so.

You will definitely have to do two legs to get there. Your safest and most reliable bet would be JAX-DCA-MCI or JAX-IAH-MCI. Both of those options put you on company metal for both legs. Via DCA you're on the American side so they will clear you for a seat before the D1's which is incredibly helpful. Via IAH you will be on the United side and you'll get SA0X priority which will put you at the top of the standby list (below UAL vacation pass travelers). With both options you are guaranteed the cockpit jumpseat assuming there aren't any other Republic pilots commuting.
