In retrospect, that wasn't an empathetic offer, but Wedge isn't known for his skills with emotions. Not these kind of emotions, at least. He's rather emotionally stunted, and that's something Luke knows for a fact.
Wedge smiles an easy, lazy grin. "I knew you'd ask about it," he teases. "Well, we just lost some ships, so we need captains more than ever." Job openings through death are never pleasant to talk about, but this is a familiar situation to career rebels like he and Luke. "It's simple, really: you sign up, they put you through a battery of physical and psychological tests, some sims, and then they'll let you know if you're in or not."
"I just came back from a test tour. I did pretty well, all things considered." He ruffles his hair, mulling over his words. "It was an emergency situation: a ship crashed outside the dock gates, reporting that other ships went missing. We found a single survivor."
"Aside from the usual problems with green recruits, my crew did pretty well."
