I would have SDC'ed onto another flight routing (through ATL, DTW, or MSP) if I would have known about the issue prior to take-off. In my complaint e-mail, I argued that I should get mileage credit for both segments. The agent in the response said that she couldn't program the route as LGA-PIT-MCI, but she would give me 500 MQMs for the trouble (which was in addition to the $150 e-voucher the FA gave on the plane).
You did well.

I suspect one reason ATL-ATL doesn't earn miles is that the passenger was not ticketed and did not pay for this segment.
