I had upgrade capt for sim partner (thank God) and we had plenty of A and D periods. What you can expect is 4-5 days on and 2-3 days off on average for the month. You do get positive space travel to and from training. Most sim instructors were cool and asked if you were trying to catch a flight after the sim to try to help out if they could. You can reasonably catch a flight with a departure 45 minutes or so after the end of your 4 hour container time. The debriefs are usually all done real time and very short (5 minutes) unless you porked away the sim.
