N286VA landed MIA on Feb 3rd and N362VA on Feb 20th.

- 3 of the 5 airplanes coming in 2016 are on property.
- they have no plans to get rid of 319s
- interview was like all the gouge out there, no sim ,no technical Qs, they just want to get to know you and see if you are a fit and lots of time for questions from the interviewees.
-most laid back interview he ever went to
