That's not reasonable IMHO.
Well... thats why one should always ask in advance how such a sttus match will work.

Flying 50K in 1,5 months is too hard and will obviously lead to the fact that one will not re-qualify. So the point of a status match is basically lost. Then NW should introduce a challenge like UA/AA. fly X amount of miles in 3 months.
