To avoid repercussions flyers have used two separate airlines, and not listed their frequent flyer numbers on reservations.
if they give you any problem over nested flights.

Do you mean to tell me that the airline is correct to give you heartburn on the above if you fly all the segments in the correct order?
WHY?
You had to interrupt your business trip to be at home for your child's graduation from college/high school/reform school and the airline has a
"CONTRACTUAL RIGHT" to give you grief??
I repeat, ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM.
