So you make FO and have 11,000- 17,000 rollover which makes it easy for you to do it again next year.

If I understand correctly, since the accelerator started, you flew 8 actual segments, for which you received 12 MQSs due to the accelerator.

FO still requires 30 MQS. Here 30 - 12 = 18 MQS required yet to be earned after the accelerator is applied, which would mean 12 additional actual segments in most fare classes.

Alternatively, if you do the calculation for actual segments, assuming that all segments you fly earn the 50% accelerator bonus: 30 MQS/1.5 (or 150%) is 20 actual segments required for FO. You've already done 8, so 12 more actual segments (at 50% bonus) would be required.
