No, I dont believe so. He must have his own skymiles account# if he wants to collect miles. You cannot collect miles from someone else flights

If the above could be done, I bet there would be a ton of CEO, CFOs that would simply use their own skymiles number to book their employee business trips and bank millions of miles...that would be sleazy and unethical but I bet it would happen a lot. My guess is that is a big reason why DL forbids it.
