Agreed, that's what all line pilots expect, but the reality is that in the past 2 years that hasn't happened. To elect a candidate from either of the current camps represented at the MEC will likely just flip (or continue) the balance of political power and bring line pilots 2 more years of inaction.

Do they have an agenda for the JCBA, or is it that they just don't like the MEC chairwoman.
The current MEC appears to be a microcosm of national politics where it's not about what's right, it's about who's right and neither side is willing to concede a thing. Another good deal for United Pilots.
