I think part of the reason is that this is a process that started back in 2009, well before the details of the NPRM came out. Right now, it seem to be a gamble by both sides. UPS will fight the NPRM with every ounce of energy they can muster! If for some reason it fails or gets changed in UPS's favor, the process, which we are more than a year into, continues. The IPA wants ALL flying done by IPA members. If they get it done by merging the FQS into the list, or by UPS being forced to make all FQS a no flying position, they don't really care. I personally hope they come up short, because in the end, I feel the FQS job is not going to be around for much longer one way or the other.
