That would be illegal, and thus a strong case for a lawsuit, wouldn't it? EC261 doesn't mention it having to be on the same airline. Of course, as a practical matter it would usually be sorted within the airline, but in this case it cannot, which however doesn't negate my rights AFAIK (please correct me if I'm wrong)
