But I still have the questions, "Can an airline take our full value e-ticket and endorse it to any other carrier (that can read their e-ticket)? Must the airline be part of the same alliance? Can we take the ticket receipt and go to the other airline ourselves?
If you can get the airline to endorse your ticket to paper, then in theroy yes it can be converted by another airline to a ticket on them, but good luck on trying to explain your reasoning for "needing" a paper ticket. Won't even work with an e-tickets, needs to be hard cold paper ticket.
