It would never occur to me that airlines would want this type of behavior. What if your bag didn't make it in time to the second airline? Who is responsible to make sure it gets to you and pays the added costs? How would you feel about the policy if you were negatively impacted by a security incident related to someone passing a bag on to a plane you or your family member was on?
