I seem to vaguely recall something about this, but don't recall the details. Can you elaborate?

Ah the infamous candle wood crapper. After he got canned he went to Mesa and has since gotten on with Delta. He turned a sh!ty sh!tuation into a less sh!tty sh!tuation.

If we do have an 0400 show outside of the training department, I pity that crew...

80% or more of the time, you brief the day before after your session for the next day. So realy its 6-12pm...and actually its one of the better time slot for strut students. Then you aren’t brieing then expected to rember and perform the maneuvers right after. Brief the day before. Gett better study direction then perfuthe manuvertthe next day. I find call out and actions/profiles are smothed out way faster that way..

Or a 0700 show on the east coast...

Candlewood wasn't staffed overnight. A bunch of people went out drinking on the weekend and he ended up locked out of his room with no way to get a new key.

That being said, I think it’s not ideal for training as that is when you are building skills using a building block approach and it’s more efficient if the brain is firing on all cylinders. The reality is that sims are expensive and need to operate 24 hours minus maintenance, so the night and early AM sessions are a fact of life in the industry.
