I couldn't disagree with you more JJ.
It's not 'just a sim ride', it's a sim ride to see if you are worthy for a multiple-million dollar career.
For me, I paid for prep in the DC10, I bought Microsoft Fly Sim DC10 add-on and flew the profile a couple times each day weeks before my interview, I had it memorized.
I did interview prep TWICE with two different companies.
For me, knowing the cockpit and having no surprises was half the battle. I didn't want to leave ANYTHING up to chance. I walked into sim and interview knowing I did EVERYTHING possible to ensure that if I didn't get the job, it wasn't my fault.
I was so relaxed I couldn't believe it. So, do not take this lightly and prep all you can, so you can look yourself in the mirror if it doesn't work out and say you did your best. This is not just another sim ride.....
