330 seats (all seats infact) are filled by the most senior pilot to bid for that position. It doesn't matter if he/she was F50, 146, 737 or 320. Yes, it is a much easier conversion from 320 to 330, but that doesn't come into account. In certain circumstances the company can direct people, but it involves lots of clauses and procedures.
Everything works to seniority, you have to wait your turn.
