Southwest Airlines pilots began casting strike-authorization votes on Monday, the same day that the American Airlines pilots union announced its members voted overwhelmingly in favor of a strike.
It comes despite American Airlines stating that it is close to resolving disputed contract issues with its 15,000 pilots.
