ALPA joining in this fight just isn't going to happen.
The up side of this is that we don't have to listen to New Hire UPS pilots suggesting that we become part of ALPA.

While they are in the suing mood, they oughta sue their companies for lobbying the administration for the carve-out and the administration for overruling the FAA's position. John Allen said the rules were written based on human fatigue science and the body doesn't know or care if the plane has pax or freight.

I thought that was the big worry from commuters --- that we would lose the week-on/week-off type schedules with 4 or 5 nights of consecutive flying.
If not, the biggest change would appear to be the number of Reserves FEDEX would have to have for "weather events".
No more waiving the "FAA duty limit" magic wand --- paying everyone an extra 3 hrs --- and have pilots fly to 16 hrs.
I am wondering if FDX will still claim that these set of published rules would cause them to hire 800+ pilots if cargo ops were incluede?

Where are the others?
My guess is that they are carefully evaluating their position prior to wasting a lot of money on a lengthy, costly and ultimately unwinable action.
