Keep updating. If you volunteer for HKG and CGN, it may help. While these assignments may not be ideal (maybe they are), but it at least gets your foot in the door.
Good luck!

I used Centerline Interview Consulting. For $99 we reviewed Airline Apps and Pilot Creds. Combed over both apps and help refine the product. I thought it was well worth the money. Don't forget you can write off almost anything during the job hunt. I had nearly $2k in 2015 for job fair fees, airline tickets, hotel room, rental car, app review, Airline App fee, new suit. I'll have a few bucks to write off this year with FedEx ticket and hotel and Delta hotel. FedEx doesn't pay you for any travel.
BL: fork out the cash to make yourself and more importantly your app look spotless. It's worth it!

So, across the company - all domiciles, all fleets (except 777), the average days off for line-holders are within .5 of each other.
28 day month - 14 days off
35 day month - 18 days off
(so, ~ 180 work days per year)
777
28 day month - 16 days off
35 day month - 21 days off
(~ 152 work days per year)
As an average 777 F/O line holder, you'll probably average 25-28 more days off per year than all but the top 10-20% on any other fleet.
