Holdo and Paige know each other from a mission they were on together (it's in a book about Paige and Rose) which I can totally share with you. :3 Holdo is the reason Rose was on her ship when TLJ went down.
/BABBLES AT YOU.

Of all the people who could have been waiting to meet the bomber crews when they struggled out of their Refnu weathersuits in the debriefing room after their last hop to Atterra, Rose did not expect Vice-Admiral Amilyn Holdo of the Resistance cruiser Ninka. That night the look in her eyes was wintry. She didn’t greet anyone aloud as they filed past her into the room, but Rose could see that she was watching and noting each crew member individually, assessing their enthusiasm and their exhaustion.
In Rose’s case, the singed sleeve got a nod. When everyone was gathered together and Fossil stood waiting at the front of the room, Holdo strode to meet her and addressed the Cobalt and Crimson Squadrons. “Thank you for”—Holdo paused, looking around the room, catching individual eyes—“for everything you’ve done this week.” She looked at Fossil. “Thank you, Commander.” Fossil nodded, blinking her enormous eyes. Holdo turned back to the gathered StarFortress crews. “I’ve heard from Fossil all that’s happened,” she said. “And I want to give you time to rest, to recover from wounds, to address your grief. I want to hear every individual report and impression. But I can’t do any of that. We’ve no time for it. You’re aware of the stellar shock of two days ago?” They all nodded silently. “It was a First Order attack on Hosnian Prime. It was an attack that destroyed the Hosnian star system.” She paused again, to let that sink in.
“It destroyed the entire system.” It was almost too enormous to comprehend. And yet, nothing short of the destruction of an entire star system could explain the disturbance to the galaxy that they’d all witnessed. Someone raised a hand and ventured, “How—?” “The astonishing weapon they constructed has already been destroyed, as well,” Holdo said grimly. “It happened today. You, like me and my ship, were too far away to lend your aid. In any case, before the First Order could draw down the starpower to use their weapon a second time, the Resistance met them and stopped them. But the result of their attack on Hosnian Prime, and of our Resistance retaliation, is that we are now openly at war with the First Order.” Rose heard quiet gasps around the room. Paige reached for her hand and squeezed. Rose glanced at her sister. Paige’s face was drained, but her expression was calm as always. And, as always, Rose could guess what she was thinking.
It was a relief to have this out in the open—to know that their fight would be in daylight now. That Atterra’s fight would be supported. That anyone who had escaped from Otomok would be believed. But it was a bitter satisfaction. “You’ve served the Resistance loyally on this mission. You’ve seen your comrades die. You must move on to the next battle without regret,” Holdo said. “Don’t spend time dwelling on the past. Look forward now. Dedicate yourselves to creating the best possible future.” It hardly seemed possible that Holdo could find some positive encouragement for them under the circumstances, but Rose clung to every word. “General Leia Organa has initiated an evacuation of the D’Qar base,” Holdo finished. “There’s no doubt our security has been breached. We need you, the heavy bombers, to return with me and the Ninka. We need you armed and able to fight in defense of the evacuation. Who is ready and willing?”
Every arm in the room shot up.
Holdo was silent for a moment, moved. Fossil nodded again and said, “We are at your command.” “My cruiser can provide you with armament,” Holdo told the bomber crews. “We’ll help you load the bomb racks. Fossil tells me you have enough crew for two squadrons of four bombers. You’ll fly as the Cobalt Squadron and the Crimson Squadron as usual. We can provide a starfighter escort of twenty X- and A-wings. Kaiden, Zanyo, Vennie?” Holdo turned to each as she spoke their names. “I’d like to put the three of you back in starfighters. The rest of you must redistribute your crews. Rose Tico?” Rose found Vice-Admiral Holdo looking her directly in the eyes. “I’d like you to come on board the Ninka as part of our maintenance team. We’re desperately short of good technicians, and I’m afraid we’ve got a bitter fight ahead of us. I’m impressed with the work you’ve done this week; you’re quick and reliable and you’re good at taking orders, as well as at taking initiative. I need you on my ship.” Paige squeezed Rose’s hand. It was an encouraging squeeze. It said: Go on. Now’s your chance. If Rose went with Holdo, she would have to fly without Paige for the first time. We are now openly at war with the First Order, Holdo had said. I need you on my ship.
“We’ll reshuffle everybody after the evacuation,” Holdo promised, seeing Rose’s hesitation. “All right?” Rose swallowed. Then, suddenly, she gave a sharp nod. She let go of Paige’s hand. She knew that now she was going to be able to navigate new uncharted stars alone. “All right,” said Rose. “I’ll do it.”
