You have 12 MQS. You're projecting 3 or 4 trips that have a connection which means 12 or 16 base MQS multiplied by 1.5 equals 18 to 24 additional which gives you 30 to 36 MQS with 30 required.
You have 6000 MQMs. Each of your 3 or 4 trips will get you at least 6000 MQM for another 18,000 to 24,000. In addition, you'll get 12,500 MQM when you hit the $25,000 spend on the DL Platinum card. That means you'll have well over thMQM for FO and will roll over at least 11,000 MQM to next year.You're in a no sweat situation as long as you make your flights as projected - 3 R/T minimum.
It looks like I've gotten 3000 MQM for the two trips so far, which makes 6000 total. If that's the case, it looks like MQS may be the easier box to check and could be done with a minimum of six segments (unless I'm missing something).
edit- Never mind, I forgot about the MQM bonus for the spend. 6000 current balance+12500 bonus=18500MQM+any 6500MQM=Silver.
Any two R/Ts plus a little extra will do it.
