CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - American Airlines said it would begin furloughs of 19,000 workers on Thursday, and a large union said other carriers would follow, as hopes faded for a last-minute bailout from Washington.

The carrier had more than 140,000 employees before the coronavirus pandemic. That number is expected to be below 100,000.
