Pod-fitted ships have always have a crew. Read the back story more carefully, for instance Hands of a Killer.
There's also this thread where a Dev says that ships have crews.
The pod replaces the bridge crew, but there is a still a crew for maintenance, loading weapons, etc.
Most pod-controlled frigates don't have a crew, but ships larger than that do.

As far as if we pod pilots do have crews... Id say its more to do with what you want over anything else.
Pod pilot fitted ships definently do not need a crew as all systems are wired into the pilot but this does not exclude the possibility of a crew.
Thus if you want there to be a crew then there is a crew, if not there isnt.
All wrong.

The idea of ships having thousands of crew doesn't really work for me, for various in-game reasons.
First, these people work without pay (well, it's not coming out of my wallet, at least), don't mind being left sitting around in the middle of nowhere for months on end while you do stuff on the other end of the galaxy, or accepting a completely new captain if the original one ejects or trades the ship.
There's also the security status penalty for ship-killing compared to pod-killing. "Oh, that Dominix battleship was destroyed, killing thousands of people. Put a black mark on his record. What? He destroyed the pod and killed one additional person? Hunt him to the ends of the earth!" 
Well, be in denial if you want, but it's a fact.

We're making millions per hour, billions per month, if even 1% of that gets shared among a BS crew of 6000, each member still makes 1500 per month, which would probably be enough to keep them alive.
1500ISK is probably a small fortune to regular joes. They could probably retire on that much money or at least live comfortably for a long time.
The crew probably get paid the rounding error on ISK transactions and consider it fair pay.
1ISK is worth much more than planetary currencies.
