I respect other religions and customs, but this was vague, ambiguous, and, I think, totally out of place.
Although this notice to crew was a polite reminder to acknowledge and respect cultural and religious practices, and indeed appreciated, even if as said it is a little weird.
What strikes as even more dumbfounding is how a notice such as this manages to make it into Operational Notices, yet other important information such as the practise of now reducting track miles allocated on a Flight Plan with planning the SIERRA 2A arrival with tracking from Sierra direct to Mango goes by with out so much as a mention to the crew that it will affect.
Indeed, what really is considered as important Operational information for crew.....One is left to beg for the asking.
