Not only shady, but illegal. I've posted on this before...the FAA only allows dual given for legit training purposes. Two MEI's giving each other dual is OBVIOUSLY time building, not flight instruction.
Safety pilot is the legal way to do this, although a few regional airlines may not have been too excited about it in the past. I don't know of any that specificly exclude it now...if in doubt, read their web sites.
