I would assume those pilot costs don't take into account anything beyond wage, training, recruitment, pension etc.

They don't take into account the loss of the 4-6 first class seats that could be fitted where they sit on every flight if you removed the cockpit. How much does that add up to over a year?

How much does all that cockpit hardware such as screens, switches and so on weigh? that all cost money to fly around.
