SLF's - Hangar Bay EMPTY?

Broke down and bought a two ship hangar bay for my 'Conda. Bought a PA equipped Condor and a PA equipped Taipan - or thought I did. Hired a pilot. Set them to active and on ship (why can't we have 2 pilots on board? And two fighters launched). Set up pilot commands in controls. Went on an assasination mission. Tried to launch the Taipan and what the... both hangar bays are empty. Each showed set up for the correct fighter but no fighter.

Killed the target.

Went home.

Thought - maybe they need to be restocked. Went to restock screen. Fighters shown in red with full ammo but no fighters. Went to outfitting and it showed the right fighters and wouldn't let me buy one.

Something's just not right here. What am I missing? Paid for an expert pilot and would really like to get my money's worth.

Ideas?

Well - I figured it out. The "empty" on the fighter referred to no pilot assigned. When you deploy if not pilot is assigned you must assign one. After that ... I guess the same pilot stays with that fighter 'cuz I didn't have to assign a pilot to that fighter again.

Funny way to do things. Should probably get a cue to assign a pilot to the fighter when you either hire one or buy a new fighter.

btw. the only way to run 2 SLFs at a time is using another Player via MultiCrew, but then it's possible to have two SLFs active at the same time.
(with a Class 6 Fighter Hangar, 1 CMDR via MultiCrew means 1x CMDR SLF + 1x NPC in 2nd SLF, if 2 CMDRs join, both can take over from the NPC SLF at anytime)
