We all know we have an obligation to our passengers, but most of us are even more interested in keeping ourselves alive! Again, most drivers don't consciously think "oh, I have two passengers in my car. I better be extra careful today." They drive to keep themselves alive, and if they stay alive, chances are everyone else will, too.

Cabin Pressurization?

the scariest times in flying are during takoffs and landings. Pilots love flying, and they wouldn't do it if they didn't. Yet, at the same time, they know full well that anything could happen during starting or completing a flight. So they are constantly aware of the risks and possibilities, and they have to be prepared to do everything they can to make every flight safe, because they have more than just their own lives to take into consideration, but those flying with them and those on the ground.
So, do they get scared? To a degree?, yes, but they are more centered on concentrating on what they have to do to insure that the flight goes off safely and have to put the fear aside. Kinda like nascar drivers, while they are preparing for a race, they think about all the possibilities and what they may have to do to react to any given situation, so there is always some level of fear invloved in what they are about to do. It's what makes them the proffessionals they are

The only time I get nervous is during a check-ride (recurring flight test), because you know the examiner is going to spring some kind of simulated emergency on you, or find another way to make the test challenging, but you just don't know what it's going to be, or when it's going to happen.
