Lots of ways to create pairings. When I was JFK based I would fly mostly 4 day trips that only touched JFK on the 1st and last leg, in fact that was typical before “in base layovers”. You are thinking a little too 1 dimensional if you think more than a handful of trips would start or end with a DH to/frm JFK/BOS!
