You get credit for one segment on a direct flight, regardless of scheduled or unscheduled aircraft changes.
I used to fly PIT-MHT weekly. There was a direct through PHL, but there was also a stand-alone PIT-PHL flight that left 5 minutes earlier. My entire team would always take the earlier flight, switch planes, and make 2 segments out of it.
Who ever said FF programs were fair....
