Probably not important to the OP, but you can redeem HawaiianMiles for Virgin Atlantic flights.

We took advantage of Japan Airlines's family pooling plan a number of years ago. I don't know whether the program is still alive but it should be easy to find it out. It did charge us an annual fee of $30.

Tried search but doesnt seem to be working.
Eos Airlines' brand new FFB, Club 48 (there are 48 passengers on the plane), allows pooling of up to 10 members.
However, the 8 JFK-STN round trip tickets will set you back by at least US$25,600...

You are correct on pooling for 8 people on Qatar but where did you get the info about them being partner with AA? They are not. Thye recently did sign with United though.

The Middle East's newest program, Oman Air Sindbad, allows pooling of 8 immediate family members; these include "your spouse, siblings, children, parents, stepparents, grandparents and grandchildren".

Virgin's latest membership guide (warning large PDF) indicates that Gold members can set up family transfers in two ways:

1. A supplementary Silver account for one member of the household with miles pooled with those of the Gold account holder (not sure if this allows you to link another Virgin Atlantic account that already exists).

2. A 'family' account which allows you to earn points as the Gold holder for the travel of up to 3 individuals between 2 and 17 years of age in your household.

Etihad recently launched their FFP, Etihad Guest.
It allows the pooling of miles earned by up to 8 family members.

I wonder if US-based airlines will ever offer mile pooling.

Air India allows pooling of miles between spouses. There is no pooling of family miles.
