It's a constant topic of discussion since 1538 of 1541 G4 FO's are senior to the junior CA in the system.
A330 has 389 FO jobs, of which approx 330 (Nov bid) of them are senior to the system junior CA (Jan bid).
So roughly 1930 G4 FO jobs, of which 1868 of them are senior to the junior captain in the system.
