Brent 109.57, flirting with a 3-week max (109.62) in after hours.

If you're scoring at home, 116.69 is the 1-month, 6-month, and 1-year max (Dump's current Iran war high). 119.02 is the 5-year and 10-year max (Russian oil sanctions after Ukraine invasion). 147.50 is the all-time max (2008 Financial Crisis).

Edit: And there it is. 109.68, the 3-week max.

another enshittification discovered. I'd heard a lot of chatter how Delta has been using turbulence to cancel service on many flights ever since the emergency landing incident months ago in MSP. Obv, that situation was terrible and no one wants injuries. but a lot of well seasoned travelers have been talking about delta using it as an excuse to just not do service...and I think I agree.
Yes, climate change is making turbulence happen more often. But this was ridiculous, smooth sailing and a refusal of service. I asked a family member who flies to ATL for work each week and is fairly high up there, and they snorted and said its gotten real bad, to the point where it seems like the FAs just don't want to work anymore. entire flights from MSP-ATL with zero drink service, and ATL-LAX flights with no service at all.

But, Ed is raising prices!
 
And now we are galloping. 111.83 a few minutes ago. Backed off a bit but still above 111 and the trading volume is notably increasing.

Interesting to watch the world end in realtime.

The enshittification started a couple years ago, people are just now noticing. The industry used to joke about Delta pilots immediately getting on the line with ATC about finding a new altitude after hitting a brief light chop. Now they just throw on the seatbelt sign and shut everything down. I pretty much stopped caring about upgrades and happily became WFBF during the pandemic years, but I won't fly DL by default anymore unless they're the only nonstop from DTW. Especially not after having perfectly fine experiences on UA the last couple of times I've flown them.

I get they are finally doing fleet modernization after stretching out 30 year-old airframes and have new planes to pay for, but so much of what they're choosing to do operationally is clearly just profit maximizing. Ed is an accountant at heart.
