All you blokes are missing one of the biggest costs, image upkeep. Bomber jacket $1200, new raybans every year $400 (In OZ $120 elsewhere), white shirts with those flappy things on the shoulders $300, gold bars (Five) to go on the flappy things $300, dark blue fletcher jones trousers $400 (I'm not judging here), aviator watch BIG$$$$$ (Skies the limit here). All this before you walk out onto the tarmac, not including wac charts to leave in the car and one of those brief cases things with the biscuts or whatever you carry in them.
There's roughly six thousand before you even buy captains car (Porshe or ferrari), lucky you can earn so much being a pilot
