The fighters are clearly from the Republic era so it's possible they were salvaged in bulk.

Biggs proves they are trying to recruit pilots so it makes sense that they could end up with more ships than pilots.

As I said. This is invalid argument since the recruited pilots would train new pilots.

Eventually yes but that would take time unless they have already been trained on similar craft like Biggs and Luke.

Lol don't stick Luke in the same pot. Luke was "trained" on "crop duster" while Biggs was trained at military academy.

It would take time but they were hiding and had plenty. The trainees had the opportunity to train directly on X-wing (if they really had huge supplies of them as you suggest). So even a few days in X-wing is better than a childhood in a "crop duster". Yes?
