You most definitely can and should charge them as a consultant. Big time! :)
You have much more exposure to global travel, airlines and milage programs than the people sitting in a tlv board room...

On which of the above 16 points did you already agree with him before you spoke to him, on how many did you agree with him after talking with him and on how many of them do you still disagree?

Maybe this LY FFP discussion should be in a separate thread?
Especially as this is getting more and more interesting

I can imagine that advertising that "Daniel Eleff of DansDeals.com will be joining our team" will do a lot to promote the brand in certain demographics... :P

Feel free to come to the Q&A and ask.
I found some of the stuff pretty interesting, but I'm a geek like that. Nothing earth shattering.

Seems like this plan will be better, who knows.

Seemingly no.
But I encouraged him strongly to look into FFP tie-ups with other airlines such as AS.
