i feel so special to see my old thread used again!!! LoL.
I got out of the airline biz in 2009 and have since moved from KC altogether. I parked at the Hilton by the airport, off to the side in spaces that were always available...the crew who ran the desk never charged me during the time i lived there, and I always made it a point to tip the van drivers. They were great, and I never once had a problem! Totally recommend it!!! To all those still fighting the good fight, enjoy!
