Not a chance.
The key word you use is "recalled." You are not recalled and no one at sUAL has been recalled as you and they can only be recalled to sUAL.
What you suggest is why sUAL pilots at sCAL insist on being called "new hires" not "recalls."
At one time I was a bit foggy on this issue but because of your post I can now see why the distinction is so important.
