You could regard it as two different types of interline agreement, Passenger and baggage. And naer the twain shall meet!
remdk so to further clarify, if an airline through checks a passenger & their baggage, and that passenger misses the connecting flight due to a late arrival on the inbound, the airline that through checked them is responsible for getting them to their final destination?
Assuming MCT is met in the above example, although I'd wonder about a case where MCT was not met but the agent booked them through anyway?
