While there isn't generally any public information available as to the specific configurations, but most major large passenger airplanes include secret crew quarters or "rest areas" hidden from view. So 8 pilots is possible - depending on how the carrier configured their rest area. In addition, crew seating is never taken in consideration as well in publicly available information, and there could be a chance there is crew seating below deck along with the storage for food and other crew related spaces.
