Oh yes he did. He only had a casual job in any case. And yes he no doubt felt he had some pressure on him to do the flight but no job is worth killing yourself and killing a handful of other people who by buying a ticket, felt they were buying some assurance that the pilot knew what he was doing, was properly licensed and qualified, was and would abide by all regulations.
If all commercial pilots operated to similar standards ( as you appear to endorse) there would aircraft wreckage across the face of the earth. Fortunately, most do not however.
