The crew doesn't actually have a life of their own. They are ancient spirits, soul bound to the ship through dark techno-sorcery long since lost to man. Their corporal bodies have long since turned to dust. The humanoid figures you see scampering around the deck of a ship are but ghosts of those brave yet foolish individuals who volunteered to spiritually merge with these flying death machines. Ghosts have nothing to fear from bullets, flame, or shrapnel. Yet like any apparition they can not stray far from the corporal object they haunt. Attempts to win their freedom by leaping off their ghost ship are always met with humiliating failure as the dark magic rips the self projection back onto the cold hard deck it was so eager to leave. Only through the fiery destruction of the Airship itself can these lost souls hope to find the truce peace of the grave.

...So then why don't we just sit there and die?

All the rational Ghosts ended their existence by ramming their air ships into mountains centuries ago. All that is left are the ghosts too angry and too suborn to die by their own hand.

Don't forget the ones who live simply to cause mayhem.

We are the ones looking for the foe, strong enough, or lucky enough, to free us.

That works for me.
