Unlike many other airlines, CO does not automatically release inventory at 330 days out. Rather, they wait a while, see how seats are selling, and then later release the seats for miles. You may end up waiting a while to see if the seats ever open up. If you call CO you can also have them look for partner seats, but CO across the pond is generally considered more enjoyable.
Of course, you could probably do something like SEA-KL-AMS/AMS-KL-BRU and do a REALLY long haul rather than breaking it up in EWR. You would have to call and book that via the partner desk.
