Very few martyrs left to stand watch and go down fighting for the greater good...
So that said, I think most people have a 'price', that bending point that will push them over the edge...for many it takes a nudge, a little enticement, a little discomfort and they would sell their mothers for a nickel...
With regard to pilots, flying heavy, maintenance due, past medicals on and on...for them it's about not get caught..and since no active enforcement....they see little risk...haven't met any pilots yet, oozing 'honor and professionalism' that I haven't been able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they are completely full of crap...but I am sure there are a few out there...
When I get thrown hypothetical s of 'would you do this this or that', my answer is usually the same...'you can't afford me'... and that's the truth....
