I'm pretty happy where I am, schedule wise, but the pay doesn't come close to letting me afford a house in base. Maybe after I upgrade in 7 to 10 years.
I was thinking about shipping overseas to build up a good $500,000 down payment and return after the contract ends. If US hiring has slowed by that time, maybe extend the contract to kill time, hopefully upgrading at ANA in the mean time. The big risk is, of course, missing this US hiring craze and the associated seniority.
Is the money at ANA worth it? What is life like while working? Living at home with 12 days off in a row, business class back and forth doesn't sound too bad! Especially if upgrades occur within 5 years. And what are the chances of the contract not extending and getting beached?
I'm reluctant to make a change at this point, but if someone would like to try to convince me to leave for ANA, please try! The knowledge would be appreciated.

Hey yeah sorry beep but dynamic isn't a US major. I'm not so sure what the pay rates and QOL is at dynamic because it doesn't have a profile here on APC so I can't tell you what would be best.. maybe going to Ana would be a good move I don't know. But what I can tell you is keep making career decisions to make it to a US major like united delta American sw fed ex or ups and you will see what we are saying about never wanting to leave. Good luck!
