A Delta passenger says he had to sit in the poop of a dog during the flight

Delta has shifted the shit service to a whole new level.

A passenger was shocked when he entered a large pile of dog shit aboard an Atlanta-Miami flight – and offered him only paper towels and a miniature bottle of gin to clean him up.

"I sat in my seat and immediately felt a smell, and said to myself," This is not a stinky flight, "said Matthew Meehan, of Bay City, in the Michigan, at Yahoo, about the robbery of last Thursday.

"I realized that the person next to me also had a covered nose," he continued. "And then I went to take my charger, leaned over completely to charge my phone and I realized that it was not just a smell, it was actually faeces and that it was at the back of my legs, above the ground the plane. "

He and his fellow traveler rushed to the front of the plane to brief the flight attendants, whose reaction to the biological danger had left him stunned.

"The crew said," Are you kidding me? I can not believe that they did not clean it. "They knew it was there," said Meehan, a leading Diamond member of Delta's Medallion program, which, according to the airline, "offers opportunities to fly more comfortably."

"The Delta representative, who spoke to me after the fact, said that his protocol was to install a kit for biological hazards on board," he said.

"The fact that they either did not take it away and did not offer me something to clean me up or he was completely absent from the plane broke the protocol anyway. They said that they did not have any.

Instead of calling the door and asking for disinfectant material, Meehan says the flight attendant gave her two paper towels and a miniature bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin with which to clean herself.

"It covered my bare ankles," he said. "They did not give me gloves. I had to pull off my pants because it was at the back of my pants, so the feces are passing in my hands, without any kind of disinfectant solution to be able to clean anything – and only a tiny bottle of gin. "

When he left the toilet, to his dismay, the passengers continued to board the plane covered with poops, he said.

When Meehan asked the flight crew for explanations, he replied that mess cleaning was not their responsibility and that they were busy preparing for the departure.

"If you want, you can get off the plane and talk to someone," he said.

The agent of the door called a manager, whom Meehan called conflicting.

"I told her what had happened and she said," If the cleaning crew did not do their job, that's not my problem. What do you want me to do about it? Said Meehan.

"Very conflictual, like what? So I said, "Can we clean that up so that I can sit down?" She added, "Sir, it's almost time for this plane to leave. You can sit in your place or you can be left behind. "

At this point, other passengers protested and asked for a thorough cleaning, he said. The manager therefore sent someone with paper towels.

"To my knowledge, they did not use any sanitation, and I was supposed to accept it, because she quoted without quotation, she cleaned it," he said.

"We did not know if it was someone who got sick, an animal that got sick. … Originally, the flight crew declared it to be a German Shepherd. And then the door officer said in his papers that it was an older man who had fallen ill on his arrival. "

The airline later told him that a Golden Retriever puppy had abandoned the gods.

Meehan stated that he had to be somewhere in the morning and that he could not afford to disembark – so he had no choice but to "freeze in the excrement." For a few smelly hours.

"I had the impression of being a tethered animal, forced to pose his own feces that we sometimes see in PETA videos," he said. "It was dehumanizing to talk like that, required to sit in a seat filled with excrement without care. They are more interested in getting an airplane off the ground than the safety and health of passengers. "

The flight being overbooked, he could not even change seats.

"So we sat there for the whole flight, my row, the rows around me, it always smelled horrible. There were still stools embedded in the carpet, "he lamented.

Meehan has published his disgusting account on social media.

"I'm not happy DELTA! SICK, "he wrote on Facebook. "Is it even legal? THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THE HEALTH CODE!

In a statement, Delta states that the 1949 flight "was shipped before the cleaning was completed as a result of an incident that occurred during a previous flight with an assistance animal."

"Delta apologizes to the customers affected by the incident and has made an effort to remedy the situation by offering a refund and additional compensation. The safety and health of our customers and employees is our top priority, and we are conducting a full investigation while keeping up with the right teams to prevent this from happening again, "said the airline. .

Delta also said the plane had been decommissioned to be "thoroughly cleaned and disinfected" in Miami.

The carrier offered Meehan 50,000 miles in compensation.

"That's what I'm worth for them? 50,000 miles? After putting my health at risk with all the other passengers on the plane? ", Did he declare.

"I am a diamond medallion and a million militiamen," said Meehan. "If this is how they treat their highest level, I can not even imagine how they treat people who are not part of the SkyMiles program."
