Flying weather in New York in March

What fixed compass heading would hold to fly from JFK to SFO (assuming no wind correction)? Is it a trick math question? It's certain won't be the great circle route, which has a continuous changing magnetic heading to hold. Given the difference of magnetic variation between west coast and the east coast, I'm not certain this can be calculated using a math formula. Such a magnetic heading can be deduced by a computer simulation using the brute force method.
