How does the joke go? Why do you always take 2 Mormons with you fishing? Because if you take only one, he will drink all your beer. 
Maybe using that logic, you should be safe bidding the 700/900 trips but watch out for the 200. That is assuming that all pilots are desired by all flight attendents, which we know is true!
I flew with a CA that was telling me the story of a young, married FO that ended up spending the evening with one of our older FA's. Apparently, she was old enough to be his Mom. Some people are into that thing!!

Foggles?
Just curious - why foggles when you'll be training in a sim? Nothing gives me a headache faster than wearing foggles...

Also make sure to bring one of those yoke-clip timers, in case the sim clock breaks (happens all the time). You'll need that to time your holds and also your non-precision approaches. I highly recommend timing your precision approaches as well, since the examiner may well fail the GS on you and you'll have to revert to the LOC only approach... And the MAP will be determined by timing.
Naturally you won't need a fuel tester until IOE. Just make sure you get one of those larger ones designed for jet fuel. On my first day I only had one of those little open-cup testers, and I spilled Jet-A everywhere :-0

Well, most of the time you don't need the foggles, but fairly often the sim visuals will break and default to good VFR. Then you're at risk of not completing your sim since you don't have a view limiting device.

Bring a pen, notepad, and your brain to ground. Bring a pen, notepad, your brain, and a headset to sim.... If you do all that other stuff you're an over achiever (or just really naive 
).
