Narrative:

While holding short of runway 19R at wichita mid-continent airport we were instructed to taxi into position and hold. After a lengthy delay, another aircraft was cleared to lnd on runway 19R. The pilot of that aircraft told the tower controller that there was an aircraft sitting on that runway. At that point the controller told us to fly runway heading and cleared us for takeoff. The controller also had given a king air clearance to do pattern work on runway 14. Runway 14 crosses runway 19R about halfway down the runway. The king air was doing a touch and go just as we were cleared to takeoff. The king air was to do right traffic and, in doing so, cut in front of us from left to right on his downwind leg which was converging with our departure course. I saw the king air converging and asked my first officer if he saw it. About that time we got a 'traffic' warning on our TCAS and I pushed the control forward. We leveled off for just a minute, and then continued the climb. I will say that just as our TCAS warning went off the tower controller told us to turn to 170 degree but there was no time for a turn. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter advised that he held 'in position' for approximately two mins before he heard landing traffic, for runway 19R, question the tower. When cleared for takeoff, with the first officer flying, the captain stated that the BE9L which had departed runway 19L, had asked for right traffic runway 14. Hearing this approval, and being cleared for takeoff, the reporter perceived the potential for conflict and kept 'an eye out' for the BE9L. The reporter advised the first officer never had visual contact with the BE9L as it turned from crosswind to downwind, requiring the PIC to take evasive action and descend the aircraft. The PIC alleges that local control never issued traffic to either aircraft. After the incident, the BE9L pilot is alleged to have transmitted on frequency-'get out your NASA forms.' the incident was reported to company. As of analyst callback, the reporter has not received any feed back from company.
