Back to back consequences

Hi All!

I am trying to get from ATL to LYS in business class w/o a weekend stay - the flights on ST and *A are all ridiculously expensive. As a cost saving measure, I was thinking of perhaps buying two tickets as a back to back and saving about $2000.

In other words, buying a RT ATL-LYS on week 1 LYS-ATL on week 2 and then buying a second RT LYS-ATL on week 1 and ATL-LYS on week 2. I would (almost certainly) not use the second half of either ticket.

Would the airline/FFP sanction me in this case? I am thinking that I should go with one airline and return with the second.

Thanks for your input and I am not running for supreme court.
