Benefit? Ask the VARA F50 guys.
The joint list allows people to move around as life and needs change. What seems unpalatable today turns out to an be an option tomorrow. You never know what can happen in life or where you might end up.
But by far the greatest benefit is when a fleet/company is scrapped and redundancies are looking likely. With a joint list it's unlikely someone more qualified (type rated and current) will be hired from outside whilst you are on the phone to your bank manager.
Unpredictable industry, having options is a good thing.

So you are saying VA has finished its fleet review. You are saying that TT will become an all 737 Fleet.
So when will VA take over the maintenance of the TT fleet?
When will VA take over operational functions? Example: MOC?Planning?Scheduling? etc?
Will VA get those TT aircraft parked in Alice Springs back into service?
This sounds interesting.......

My bro is a VA Captain flying TT (737) aircraft for the time being. The problem is apparently lack of TT crew interest in converting to the 737. He's not too concerned, enjoys his Bali jaunts as you would!
Lack of interest no surprise....
Majority of Tiger Pilots are heavy on Airbus Time, would probably be more attractive options in Asia than sinking to the bottom of the 737 list.
A330 opportunities would probably change that...

Apparently it's written into the Tiger EBA that existing FOs will have command priority to guard against expansion and amalgamation. The FOs are looking at a very rosy future indeed! Good luck to them.
