If you are looking for some SC chasing (mileage runs, call them what you will), then you should check out StevePER's thread on Flyertalk's Qantas forum about his status chaser calculator...
Back to the points about re-qualification, thadocta's post (three above) and NM's follow-up are both smack on the money. I may be in exactly the same position early next year, as I will have screamed past Gold requal level but may be just short of Plat. After 2 years of Plat re-qual, I'm hoping my SC average (2365 + 1200 + ??) will be sufficient for them to show loyalty to me (and I'll do so in return - what other airlines fly around Australia, anyway??)...
