Now to your question. I may be in the minority, but I don't think John was flipping a coin to help him decide whether to go or not. I think he was deciding whether to visit his family or not. My evidence?
It was a montage of other expedition members saying goodbye to their families. Then we cut to John flipping a coin. That would be out of place if not related to the other scenes. And what we learn about his family later on backs me up, but once again they didn't make it clear. At this point, he would most surely have made a decision or it would be too late.
And also I agree it's made pretty clear that Weir was the main reason he decided to go. She was willing to take a chance on him and he couldn't see himself pass that up. He didn't like Antarctica all that much.
