Rule 16(a)1.a.
VOLUNTARY CHANGES / REROUTING / PENALTIES ///
Rebooking/Rerouting /// Prior to departure:
Changes are permitted provided ticketed points remain the same. If the first flight coupon is being changed, and the fare level has increased since ticket issuance, the difference between the old and new fare will be charged. If the fare level has decreased since ticket issuance, no refund will apply. (emphasis added)
Although this could have been worded more clearly, I would say that it you're not making changes to the first flight coupon, the ticket won't (or shouldn't) be repriced.

Since JFK-GRU is not the first flight in the itinerary, I would say no, based on the wording above. Clearly if you wait until after you fly the first flight, changing carriers without changing ticketed points does not result in a fare recalculation or reissue/change fee.
