The Allied Pilots Association said Wednesday that voting could start as soon as American tries to impose its own terms for pay and work rules.
A hearing on American's request to cancel the pilots' contract is scheduled for Sept. 4.
Northwest Airlines went to court when flight attendants threatened to strike under similar circumstances. In 2007, a federal appeals court upheld a ruling barring the employees from striking after Northwest canceled the employees' labor contract while in bankruptcy protection.
