INCREDIBLE stench if someone on a neighboring DELTA flight could smell the dog shit on this UNITED flight

They were relating in the article about another similar event on a Delta flight that had to divert for a human passenger's diarrhea.

Maybe it's just because I clean up dog poop everyday but human diarrhea is so much worse

Yeah even with code shares I don't think Delta and United are ever the same carrier. Maybe?

Seems unlikely though. Sky West and smaller carriers don't usually share flights between multiple big carriers afaik.

Delta and United are different companies.

Yes they are. Never said otherwise.

Code shares are weird and if you don't know about them you should look them up - what I'm saying is that code shares don't get split between two major carriers as far as I know.

So you'll never have a flight that is both United and Delta ticketed. But you'll often have a flight that is United and ANA ticketed. Or Delta and ItalAir
