I think that if you want to write in Teamsters, fine, do it. But before you do, think of this:
The ALPA drive started weeks AFTER the Teamster drive. ALPA filed with the NMB with 70% of the pilot group submitting cards before the Teamsters could even get 35% (the minimum required to hold an election). That is why the Teamsters are not on the ballot and I feel a good indication of the quality of representation one would see between ALPA and Teamsters.
ALPA is a much more organized, professional union than the Teamsters. The Colgan Organizing drive just proved it.
