Show up for event, no training partner. Call scheduling, wait on hold so they can JM one. An hour later, one shows up. Get into sim, sim is broke. Wait on techs to repair/defer/MEL parts. Get that straightened out, push from gate. Have ANOTHER MX issue pop up on taxi out, call MX to try and pilot defer said item or do a system reset. Wont work, taxi back. Wait an hour for a gate, THEN 15 mins for rampers to park you. Get out of sim, call MX again. Sim event CNX'es, call scheduling, wait on hold for hours for a hotel, all while you time out.

I never understand why so many people are fascinated with getting the scenarios in advance. It doesn't matter what the scenarios are. They are so easy to deal with that knowing in advance sometimes puts you at a disadvantage. I've actually known a crew that discovered a problem before they were supposed to and they ended up busting the event because they did what the gouge said to do.
Just show up, do what you would do on line, pass, go home.

You do get to look at that stuff in advance. Usually on the descent there is time to brief the expected approach. Is this something so complicated it would take hours of study?

If I were going to be flying a CANPA into an unfamiliar airport on line I would look up the approaches beforehand. Reading the AQP gouge and studying the approaches and airports a bit is basically exactly what I would do on line.
