This is incorrect. A number of airlines allow for pooling of miles within a family. In SkyTeam the only airline that allows for it is Korean Air (KE) as far as I know. My family and I have freely shared and pooled miles between our individual KE SkyPass accounts for years with no problems whatsoever.
