Even if every single rep (other than TC, the hero of APC/JF) stepped down today and were instantly magically replaced with all the better people who are going to right all the wrongs, that's not going to bring the NMB and the company back to the table any quicker.
How else would you describe their behavior? They voted 13-1 in favor of a deal that failed ratification. Some of their blocks voted 70%+ opposed, and yet they still refuse to step down. There is obviously a huge disconnect between the reps and the membership. Like I said, their own actions are now costing the group even more money as we need to forcibly remove them before proceeding. There is plenty that needs to happen before trying to meet with the NMB again.
