You would think, but I was flying an A320 and had no scan whatsoever. If I didn't do the sim prep, I would have been all over the place.
My buddy (also A320 driver) didn't do the sim prep and got the DC8! Needless to say, at one point, Buzz asked him "do you ever hand fly?"
I am pretty sure that sealed his fate. He did not get the job. I also know one gal that didn't do the prep and didn't get the job.
I'd rather be overprepared and know I did everything I possible to be prepared rather than screw up a sim for a multi million dollar job.
