I assure you, OT will continue to be picked up at Spirit, whether it pays 150%, 100% . . . or even 50%.

At least one ALPA carrier pays straight pay (100%) for overtime - it was picked up by the most senior of Captains while 25% of the First Officers were furloughed. Elder Captains @ Fed Ex who continue to work after their 'high 5' and 25 years effectively work @ 50% pay, given their pension and other retirement payments.

The poster in this thread most upset by the lack of 150% OT pay admits he picks up overtime without abandon while Spirit pilots are still furloughed.

Never underestimate the power of greed.
