I read the question as “are crew *allowed* to collect points”. I’m afraid I don’t have an answer to that.
Yes in both cases
We can add flying and hotel program numbers to our company travel profile.
We request our travel and our company travel agent makes the bookings for flights and hotels and they add our associated program numbers to the booking.
All flights and hotels are prepaid and all airmiles and hotel points are added to our personal accounts.
