Of course there are at least two problems with that. First, is it really any better over the fence or septic tank? Second, splitting your loyalties could easily turn you into a FN ('F' NOTHING) with every airline!
PS. Oh, there is also a third reason, often the airlines do status matches for pax on a "once in a lifetime" basis, so status match with care!
