How to replace station manager

[gizmo6023]

I found a 2.5 star Manager flying one of my ships, I need to move them into the PHQ station manager position but the P0S interface says I can not replace the station manager. I attempted to move the pilot to a new position, fire the current station manager and promote the pilot to manager but now the only option available is to fire the pilot?

To reassign pilots, you need to talk to them and then choose the option "work somewhere else".

As for replacing a station manager, I usually reassign the old one to be service crew on one of my ships (and thus continue their training), you don't have to fire them.

Thank you.
I backed up one save and attempted the move again and all worked as expected. No clue what caused the system to screw up the first attempt and only provide ridiculous options.

Replacing managers is a bit convoluted between there is no easy option to do it like with the "transfer crew" option. I had to beg ages just for them to add the "exchange captains" button, which would be great for this.
