Everyday you are not working for a US airline is lost seniority, and seniority is everything.
At some point you will want to return to the US to work, especially after the reality of working for an asian carrier sets in. You seem to be banking on a robust US pilot hiring situation lasting, and again that's a false assumption.
Get a good paying job with a US carrier and with the travel benefits you can see all of asia without subjecting yourself to their work culture.
