Isn't MQDs based on ticket price, not distance flown, so $1400 x 30% = 420 MQDs?

Edited to add: Just found this on dl.com: Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) apply to Medallion qualification. Flights marketed and ticketed by partners may earn MQDs based on a percentage of distance flown* as determined by the fare class paid. Sounds like you're correct.
