Can't seem to get crew member status

[johnqevil]

I've got code that checks for what status the crewmember is in when it runs, but it doesn't seem to actually seem to query the status correctly. Relevant code:

void Update()
{
if (crewMember.rosterStatus.Equals(ProtoCrewMember.RosterStatus.Assigned)){
paycheck = wage * multiplier;
message.AppendLine(", level" + crewMember.experienceLevel + ", is on mission. Wages paid = " + paycheck);
Funding.Instance.AddFunds(-paycheck, 0);
}
else if (crewMember.rosterStatus.Equals(ProtoCrewMember.RosterStatus.Available))
{
paycheck = standbyWage * multiplier;
message.AppendLine(", level" + crewMember.experienceLevel + ", is available. Wages paid = " + paycheck);
Funding.Instance.AddFunds(-paycheck, 0);
}
}

Some runs it seems to get stuck on "Assigned", and others it never seems to see that a crewmember is Assigned out.

I did some testing, it looks like a larger issue than just my code. I wrote a short plugin that just dumps ProtoCrewMember.RosterStatus for each crew member to the debug log and it's showing the same issue. Once it runs once while a Kerbal is assigned, it will show assigned until the game is reset.

In case anyone else runs into this, I found the problem. I had a line in Awake() I was working off of for HighLogic, instead of accessing it directly. This is why it would update status properly when the game started but not while it was running.
