QA needs pilots on the B777, and the A320.. also some pilots on the A300, the A330 is the most stable of the fleets but thats leaving out the boys on the A346 of course.
so needless to say, if you have experience on a particular fleet then that is most likely where you will be sent, if you have no type experience then it will be a crap shoot what you get.

pay no attention to what you fly in the SIM check, it means nothing. we want to see basic flying skills and we use any SIM available to do it.
if your presently flying a conventional aircraft (i.e. Boeing) and you have a eval in a Airbus, my advise would be to get a bit familiar on where things are located and how to use them to get yourself around the patch, don't worry about the rest, the transition to flying side stick you'll probably find surprisingly easy. after-all your all pilots correct ?
