@0Artur0, I submit the penalty reflects your passengers attitude and not a reflection on any captaincy decisions that you make.
Passengers pay to get to a particular destination, landing anywhere else even for reasons of their safety, is not likely to win any favour.
Those RL times I have been on diverted flights did not make me too pleased with the situation and typically the airline will bare the brunt
of any passenger anger.
Diversion is a pain and it makes people unhappy so that is reflected in your point score. Cancelling the destination makes them unhappy
but not as bad as landing at the diversion field without advanced notice.
Look at the penalty from your virtual passengers standpoint, the missed appointments, connections and general inconveniance of having
paid to fly to Point X but arriving safely at Point Y.
It seems to me like FsP handles this reasonably well. Cancelling the destination minimizes the disappointment (points penalty) while
preserving your landing options.
However, your other observations regarding some of the responses provided to questions around here are well said.
Cheers
