I don't think it had anything to do with pay or hours of work. No one climbs into an aircraft with a death wish. I blame this tragedy on the PIC. He falsified documents that would have most likely have eliminated him from the job. He failed two check rides prior to taking the job but did not disclose this according to news reports. He should have been focused on the aircraft during the approach and not shooting the shlt with the FO.
