Not everyone becomes a ghost. And for this reason not all of those that have died in Harry Potter can be seen as ghosts. In fact none of the characters that the reader sees die actually become ghosts.

Harry only saw the murder of one parent, his mother. But he was only one year old at the time and incapable of processing what he had witnessed. To see Thestrals you have to not only see the death, but process it. This is why Harry couldn't see the Thestrals at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

How can Hermione Ron Neville and Ginny see the thestrals and fly on them if they haven't seen death?

Just because they can't see them doesn't mean they can't fly on them. They don't see them yet, but will be able to later on. It explained in the book that they could hear them coming up, but could not see them. They needed the help of those who could see them to get mounted up. Neville could see the thestrals he had seen his grandfather die. It was Ginny, Hermione, and Ron who coudn't see them.
