Detail of damage done to rain jacket by American Airlines in checked baggage

@americanair.bsky.social @americanairlines.bsky.social American Airlines, whose purpose is "to care for people on life’s journey," ruined this rain jacket packed in checked baggage on 12/26/2025. Now refuse to pay for replacement without an original receipt. Really? Beware, travelers.
