^there's some explanation for it in the spoiler thread at some point.

from what I can recall, it works something like this:
despite the fact that only Britannians can become pilots, apparently suzaku had KM training and testing. (this could have been because of Lloyd, it could just be standard military training, who knows)

and basically, Lloyd took notice of Suzaku because he had a very high sync rate (or something like that) in training. because the Lancelot is an experimental machine, it's both dangerous and outside of the standard military, so even though there were other skilled pilots, the units they were a part of wouldn't give them up, or they refused because of the danger.

while it is somewhat troublesome that Noodle is a number, Suzaku ends up being really a good pilot for Lloyd, since there's no strings attached.
