First - Welcome to Flyertalk

Second - To earn status with most airlines it is based on the earning of the current year-to-date.

So your 14,000 MQM's are not gone they will help you should you ever reach one million or more miles on Delta and earn some form of lifetime status. But the only ones that count towards earning you silver status this year are ones that you earned this year.

You might look around and read the forums a bit - there are a few ways to earn additional miles other than flying - these include getting bonus or additonal MQM's by getting a credit card or buying a very expensive fare class ticket.

Hope this helps,
Nissan

Also this might help you out -

It is not very concise or well laid out but it might help answer a few of your questions.
