Yep, interesting. With an overall bonus point if it was a wise decisions... (*"Pax are not happy about destination-200" "*Divert was a good decision given the bad weather, safety first +600")
But a wise decision might be a bit difficult to detect.
One should not land 1000km away from destination or on an airport where the weather is worse than the original and it may be very difficult to detect the weather over far airports.
Mhhhh.... (thinking out loud) ... yes with a dialog to enter the new destination... Mhhhhh... and I can do the detection at this time...
I note this on my "TODO" list but I'll probably release a first functional v4 in hurry with almost no changes, then start to add stuff for an update. (1 month)

Speaking about Idea :
------------------------
There is a looong time that I think about allowing to purchase stuff to customize the interior of your aircraft.
more comfortable seats, multimedia electronic, phone by sat, cabin decoration etc. etc.
You'll loose some money but it can give you a "pax waiting at gate" and "pax happiness/company satisfaction" boost...
You can then raise ticket price to payback/gain more money or choose to boost company's satisfaction.
The main problem is the interface to purchase stuffs, it should be clear, simple and appealing but as I plan to redesign a bit the dialogues it might be time to do it.
What you think about this idea ?
I like this idea these options would be pefrect for Private Charters were you don't nececssarly have a flight attendent - I do a lot of that kind of flying.
May I take this opportiunity to point out something.
There has been times where On Time arrival has been "accepted" and points added when the arrival was 4 to 5 minutes outside of schedule, typically on a long-ish flight 2-3h long.
On a short hop (40 mins) I have been +- 2 mins of scheduled arrival and there has been no bonus points. I am not sure how these are meant to work and if it was intentional, but on-time performance should (in my opinion) be rewarded regardless of the actual length of flight.
Also, while I am at it, it often happens in real life that you actually arrive ahead of schedule, due to winds or whatever, pax "pleased because they have arrived slightly ahead of schedule" should be a thing...
