I read a similar story, but the twist in this one was that the
hyperspace pilot carried on a stormy dialogue with another crew member
whom he never saw, who turned out to be the personfication of his own
subconscious "subvocalizations".  This was his employers' solution to
keeping pilots sane in the solitude of deep space. 

I suspect that this is well-trodden ground in sf.
