Or turn it into a good MR, do JFK-PIT-JFK with a very long (preferably one or two day) layover, then book a separate PIT-anwhere-with-lots-of-segments Itin to get the double spoke MQM's out of PIT.
Otherwise, just do JFK-PIT one way, then a separate PIT-DTW-JFK return to at least get bonus on the return segments.
