I would be happy with a change like this it would put a quick stop to selling awards upgrades etc, and being able to transfer my families miles and book under my account would be a big bonus.
I would be interested in this type of program too. I wonder how BA deals with the situation where 1 member is a 1K/Plat and the rest are silver /no status. As for downside I'd be OK not giving friends miles/instruments - - I'll give them a box of chocolates (& some extra salty nuts) instead!!
