That said, if it came up on a 4day that my coworker was of the same religious affiliation and they wantted me to participate, I don't think I would mind. Nor would I be offended if someone of any religion wanted to have a quick moment. ESF if you want to call on the name of satan,then giddyup, I'll still fly wit ya, but I will have my seatbelt on extra tight!


I agree with newty.

I can pray just as I get out of bed, on the way to airport, in the crew lounge or even quietly as I do my preflight. However, if I were the Captain and my devout Christian FO says he or she likes to pray before every flight, initially for the first time, I would pray with him or her. Afterwards, I would encourage him or her that we could pray together at the hotel before we even get our workday started.

And for the record........I am born again and lovin' it.
