The would be ideal, but you'll get a business jet at CAE. Whatever is left over. I had two different airplanes, neither was anything close to what I was assigned at the airline. But in reality, depending on your sim instructor you may or may not find the sim sessions to be all that valuable in terms of prepping for 121 training. Each classmate had a different experience, but I know mine focused only on the specified maneuvers (granted that's mostly the point of the cours), and far less on systems/avionics operation, rendering the type of aircraft less relevant (except for getting a feel for its handling in a stall, V1 cut, etc., of course). Others had instructors who let the students do far more interacting with various systems, the FMS, etc. That's not a knock on the course, just a note that YMMV.
