Admit to nothing, Deny everything, Make counter accusations... and demand an apology. I use this technique in most aviation scenarios and it works pretty well. I think it would have worked for you.
ASA: "can you come to spring training"
Patriot: "I can't for the class you specified"
ASA:"Why not"
Patriot: "Reasons I can't say"
ASA: "You should tell us this information"
Patriot: "YOU TOLD US NOT TO CALL"
ASA: "You are very incositerate of the people in the pool"
Patriot "I don't have to be treated like a child I demand an apology"
See once you've mastered the HR intern you can try this technique with Feds, Checkrides, and drunken arguments at bars. Did I forget schedulars... They are the most fun to do it with!
So how many in the October class?
