Zero jet exposure? Do you really want your first jet experience to be in a sim ride where getting hired depends upon how quickly you adjust in the first 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes?
Yes, $1000 is $1000. But if it gets you hired it's the best, and cheapest, money you ever spent.
Call the sim guys, like Pan Am Flight Academy, and explain to them where you are and ask what they'd charge. You don't need to do CAT I/II/III's. You need basic airwork, takeoffs, landings, and single engine work.

Try and find out if any training provider can give you some hours in a fixed base sim or a regular sim with motion turned off and get a sheet of paper with all the standard callouts and you should be in good shape.

They say B737-800 SIM ride will consist if takeoff, climb, descend, turns, and couple approaches. I don't think auto pilot coupled approach will be part of it although I'm not 100%.
I'm not sure if buying some time in B737 sim will be worth it or I should just become really familiar with Microsoft sim.
