I suspect:
1 they want 175 capability in-house. It will attract SJS applicants
2 Compass will eventually lose the DL contract.
3 they need a 2nd west coast player and don't want to put all eggs in the OO basket. Can you imagine the pull of a 9E west coast option with 175? I assume they rather task 9E with it than YX.
