[Star Wars] Why did Rey get to be the pilot? (spoilers)

At the end of TFA, we see Rey in the pilot's seat of the Falcon. Why would she get to be the pilot? Chewie had been Han's friend and copilot for decades. Wouldn't Chewie be far more appropriate to pilot the Falcon?

Chewie has been copilot for his entire life. He's really good in a supporting role. Of course he can fly the falcon, but he prefers sitting in the copilots seat.

Rey on the other hand is unto her own right a fucking amazing pilot - as evidenced by the dogfight through the star destroyer wreckage on Jakku.

Han himself was obviously impressed with both her piloting abilities and her knowledge and philosophy with regards to how she thinks the falcon should run.

Chewie likes her too, so it's natural that Chewie would want her in the pilots seat as Han's spiritual successor.
