I think that is an underlying misunderstanding because people have 50K miles "in the bank" but it's from multiple years of accumulation, not all in the same year.
If they have Aeroplan Black they are hitting the 50K miles per year (likely through CC spend) It's the Aeroplan vs Altitude status that is confusing. The new program will eliminate the two separate statuses, but redeemable/reward miles vs status miles will still cause lots of confusion.
