Through a combination of bidding, swaps/open time, you'd manage it every now and then, although best not to be fully reliant on it at the bottom of the list.
The 777 has a wider variety of trips you can bid to pair together, including most USA east coast trips as a back to back eg. 3 day JFK immediately followed by another 3 day JFK/EWR/YYZ/BOS etc with no day off in between. These pairings are available alongside the likes of DXB/ABV/JNB/CPT/DOH/BAH. You'd typically end up with 4-5 days off after such a rotation.
