Back at Yavin they have more fighters than experienced pilots and Luke is experienced with similar craft and they have nothing to lose.
It makes human sense.
Don't be ridiculous please. Every military airbase has reserve pilots. And to expect poorly equipped rebels to have more equipment than manpower is flat stupid.
It makes no sense.

Similar things happened in both world wars.
In WW2 British took some already experienced pilots from other European air forces (they had a clear reference on their skill/capabilities). And even they went trough some training before they flown Spitfires. Luke came out of nowhere, with no background, no reliable reference what so ever. And to expect he could see anything close to X-wing system on a backwater planet of Tatooine is just... well I will just stop lol.
