I did that one time, with AC but I'm sure CO is the same. My 2nd segment (YUL-YOW) was delayed, and the delay was getting worse (on a 30 minute flight). I told the GA I would go rent a car one-way, to please add a note to my itinerary, to not cancel my return. I still had a hard time the next day checking in for the return.

About throw-away ticketing: your address is on file with Nonepass... Pretty easy to figure out that your home is closer to EWR than ALB, that you had no intention do the first segment.
