space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong
with your bunk?"
So Serenity was flying before Kaylee, and possibly before Wash since Bester was hired first.

hmmm I do think Wash was before Bester as it was flying, and landed with Bester for repairs.. so Wash was aboard as pilot and looking at the cockpit when wash is checking it over looks like no repairs to bridge yet. still dirtside. but that one is a toughie as both Bester and Wash were needed to get her moving.
The Journey is the worthier part.

Bester was already on board when Wash was interviewing for the job. So Bester came before Wash.
It has been shown that Mal can fly Serenity and Zoe can fly a shuttle. For certain things a dedicated pilot may not be needed. But to do the kinds of jobs that they planned to, they would need a pilot. So its possible that Mal and Zoe flew Serenity before hiring a pilot.

I always assumed that the scenes in the Out of Gas flashbacks were in order chronologically.

I have no idea where you get that " It has been shown that Bester was on board before Wash" I have seen no such thing. Mal needs a pilot to do the work he intended, he is no pilot although anyone can sit watch to see if anything goes wrong.. Even sences with Inara he can not even work the shuttle properly.. nope, no way he is leaving dirt without a pilot.
The Journey is the worthier part.

Nope, the scenes are placed in the order that he goes back through the ship, each place he passes kicks in the flashback.. that is even mentioned in the commentary. 
The Journey is the worthier part.

Mal interviews Wash. Mal and Zoe discuss Wash, she doesn't like Wash. Mal says something like, "I've got a genius mechanic and, now, a hotshot pilot." Bester appears, wiping a tool and says, "Ain't never been called a genius before."
That's how I remember it, at least.

Watch Out of Gas again. When Wash is interviewing Mal says: Look, we finally got ourselves a genius mechanic. It's about time we hired someone to fly the damn thing.
Then we see Bester.
So Bester was on board BEFORE Wash.
Since he said 'finally' and 'about time', that suggests that some time has past since he bought Serenity. I don't think Serenity was on the lot all that time. Mal and Zoe probably got Serenity running enough to get her off the lot. Then they hired Bester.
Like I said, Mal needs a pilot to do the work he wants to do, but both Mal and Zoe have flown shuttles so they may have flown Serenity until they hired Wash.
But bottom line, Bester came first.
