Hi Airman1985,
I understand your frustration/concerns but do not worry too much, you never know till the very end.
I believe that you are in Japan and working as a Flight Instructor?. At least you have a good head start compared to many potential cadets in this forum, As a CFI, you should already have a few hundred flying hours?
Since you are in Japan, have you consider applying for new airlines like Fuji Dream Airlines (based in Shizuoka), they are looking for FO now. Also look at other budget airlines, smaller companies like Skymark, Air-Do, StarFlyer, Honda Air etc etc. Some of them even have trainee pilots programs for pilots with a few hundred hours like yourself (I think ANA is one of them where they will cover some fees and the rest will be paid by yourself)
Look for other smaller FBO around Japan, send your resume to them, you never know what will come out of it. Even if you cannot get a job with them now, at least you initialize the contact and they will know you.

Keep the faith!
