That's not even permissible, at Republic, to train or check during those hours. Written in a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT!
Oh, enjoy the 4am stuff too!
Sounds like somebody needs cheese to go with their whine.
Like airplanes, sims are very expensive to own/lease, so the company needs to get max utilization out of them.
Airline crews frequently end their day after midnight and start at 0400 or even worse if time zones are in play.
Don't see how anyone is entitled to pick his own sim hours. I could see if he found someone willing to trade, but whining and hoping to get somebody forced to swap your sim slot sounds like buddy-screwing to me.
