From my standpoint, which I'll admit is a bit ignorant as I'm only a student pilot, the de-linked pay seems to cause a few more problems than it solves.
It saves money by reducing training events. You don't have to switch aircraft to get a higher paycheck. If you like where you are at you can stay and not take a monetary penalty for it. What issues are carriers having? If a new aircraft or base shows up and nobody wants to fly it, it will go junior or to new hires if necessary...see ANC domicile for FDX and UPS.
