RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: "As a result of the total collapse of industrial relations across a whole raft of matters, we are in dispute with CrossCountry and the union has had no option but to ballot members for action and with a mandate secured we are pushing on with a 24-hour strike."
The union raised issues including rosters and training.
CrossCountry's managing director, Andy Cooper, said: "We had asked the RMT not to take any action until we had exhausted our discussions. We had already reached agreement with the union over the majority of the concerns they raised and have a further meeting next week, where we are confident that we can resolve the remaining issues."
