It may not equate to recalls, but one of the remedies sought in the grievance is to immediately refrain from additional future furloughs. So if the arbitration award is issued in early March, and it is granted in favor of the US Airways pilots, then the final furlough groups scheduled for March thru May should remain on the list as active pilots.

My personal hope is that winning this grievance WILL lead to recalls. Another remedy in the grievance is for the company to "immediately cease and desist from operating more than 93 Large SJ’s". So if 17 Large SJs worth of flying is suddenly going to be pulled out of the schedule, I suspect that flying will need to be covered by a E190/A319/B737 as the busier travel time of year approaches.
