Yup. Nothing really changes with recall rights, hiring, and SLI as furloughed pilots have 10 years from date of furlough to bypass so the "senior" furloughees have until 2019. The SLI does not have any effect on recall rights, the ability to bypass, or contractual language. If not enough pilots accept recall for a given class then UAL will have to hire off the street if UAL wants to fill the class.
The one thing that will presumably change with SLI is the ability of furloughed UAL pilots to quit sCAL and return to sUAL.
Which is why....

Yes. I personally know a couple that are but I don't know the total.
For others: note that the furlougees recalled so far were
voluntary furloughs and many can hold the left seat (or wide body FO) at sUAL.
