Not really. Delta owns a large share of Aeromexico and they operate a JCA. Both airlines market flights where one is the operating carrier for one leg and the other is the operating carrier for the other leg. Who would be the "third party" in this case?

If you booked a Delta flight through American Airlines (yes, this is possible, thanks to their reinstated interline agreement), I suppose it would be fair to say that American Airlines is the travel agent. But I don't think that logic applies to codeshare partners.
