Talks between American Airlines and the union representing its flight attendants have ended without a deal—and the union says it is making preparations for a strike.

The carrier and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) have been in mediated talks for almost a year. The lack of a deal could impact up to 28,000 flight attendants.
