It's also potentially an issue if you have a segment on a non-MQD earning flight, such as the now legendary Group 4 carriers.

"You'll receive MQDs for base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges for Delta tickets purchased and flown. You'll also earn MQDs for flight spend on Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 partner airlines that are ticketed through a Delta channel (the ticket number will begin with "006")."

ie: Just because you're on 006 stock doesn't mean you'll earn MQDs. MQDs, so simple and easy to understand!
