Good operators in Kansas City?

[Crossky]

I'm planning on moving my family to Kansas City this spring-summer. I asked a friend there about any good corporate pilot jobs, his word was the competition for jobs is stiff. I know Hallmark Cards and Sprint are there, I've heard a little about Sprint's operation.

Who has the skinny on KC corporate jobs? Anything quick and dirty or more is much appreciated.

Do a search on this site. There has been a lot discussed in the last year. Bottom line: Consider St. Louis. Sorry to be so blunt.

There is a very good company that will be hiring a pilot this summer or possibly before. I wish I could say more, but until they announce it publically, I am not in a position to do that. KC is not a great place to show up without knowig anyone and hope to get a good P91 gig. Hog driver is correct. Go East my friend.

I don't know how stable Sprint is with the Nextel merger and sprint not being the dominant power. Stay away from hallmark. The DO is a former mechanic, now pilot, with a God complex and he does not run a very efficient flight department. The $ is ok at Hallmark, but that is about it. They have had their fair share of issues.

I live in KC and don't know anyone looking for pilots and I havesome good contacts. Very hard to bust into.

Ok. The operate a jet. That is all I can tell you. Let's revisit this closer to the summer when they start looking and you'lll understand why.

Do you know Tim House? He lives in the area. He is flying a Challenger P135 as an F/O?

I've heard of him, maybe met him but I'm not to great with names and faces unless we've met a few times. I know my boss knows him.

Thanks all for the responses. Best KC BBQ? We tried the Arthur Bryant NASCAR location a few weeks ago, it was good. I remember visiting Gates at 19th & Vine a few years ago, really good.

If I were you I'd stay at your current regional job and commute. I heard there were good corporate jobs in Norfolk.
