Episode 3: The case of Kylr Yust

In the final episode of Now Boarding, KSHB 41's Taylor Hemness talks with Susie McKenzie, a 35-year flight attendant with American Airlines.

Back in 2017, she voted against building the new terminal at KCI, because she was concerned that it would mean losing the convenience that she valued so much at the old terminals.

Today, she's a big fan of the terminal. During this conversation, Taylor talks with her about passenger conduct, what a terminal really means to a flight attendant, and the state of airline travel today.

It's kind of like moving into a new house.

That's how Mike Ward described the process of moving from the old terminals at KCI, to the new terminal in 2023. 

Ward is the Assistant Manager of Operations at KCI for Southwest Airlines. In this episode, he describes working conditions at the old terminals, what it was like to practice his team's jobs before the new terminal opened, that crazy all-nighter employees pulled when the terminal switch happened, and the "trashy" lessons he's learned in the first year.

Were you lucky enough to fly out of Kansas City during the extreme cold weather we experienced in mid-January? Hopefully, that flight took you to someplace much warmer!

But there were multiple days in January that had travelers very concerned about whether or not their flight would go on as scheduled. January presented the first real test for the new terminal at KCI in terms of severe winter weather.

This month, KC Aviation Director Melissa Cooper chats with KSHB 41 anchor Taylor Hemness about exactly how an airport deals with round after round of ice and snow.
