In my 35 years of flying, military, GA, 135 and 121 I have NEVER seen a transfer of aircraft where the receiving entity did not complain about the condition of the airframes. Never.

Do you ever get paid for days you don’t work?

I don’t understand your point.

Great point. Well kind of. It's definitely true though. We all do it.

And I've never seen aircraft which were destined for transfer receive the best TLC in their final weeks at the losing entity.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

I do agree. While the airframes are never in pristine condition I don't think they are the dogs many receiving mechanics claim. I actually think much of it has to do with different mechanics emphasizing different things. Yes, they all use the same maintenance manual. But they still emphasize different things based on their training and life experience.

At OO you don’t have to work the holiday to get the pay .. just can’t call in sick the day of/before/after.. one of the few perks OO has. Management has been trying to get rid of it for a long time...

Trying to get rid of it for a long time? Skywest is non union and therefore doesn't have a "contract " per se, as such, if management wanted to take something away, they could do it tomorrow.

So no, management hasn't been "trying". Maybe they've talked about it, but if they tried, it'd be done and you couldn't do boo about it.

Reasons to be union....
