M, S, and I want to take a moment to wish you a blessed Easter! We are thankful for being in such an awesome council and appreciate the help, encouragement and patience you have provided us throughout the past year. You are what makes Houston special whatever you celebrate!

We are also thankful to be in a country where we have the option to celebrate the resurrection of the Son of God whose sacrifice makes the difference between life and death for eternity. As we pause to observe the most celebrated and sacred holiday in the Western world today, know that our thoughts and prayers are with every one of you as we go through life's highs and lows together.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us for help or to let us know how we can better serve you. We are honored to be your representatives whatever your faith and may God bless ya'll richly.
...and yet no holiday pay for Easter?

I’ve got to admit, it’s pretty weird that there is not a single note.

I’m not even religious, but on March 13 the company sent an email out about supporting colleagues during Ramadan.

Huge foul to not even acknowledge.

It's funny how the "Why on earth should the company care about X culture/religion/identity, just fly the damn planes!" crowd sure gets worked up into a tizzy when the company doesn't go out of their way to celebrate THEIR religious holiday. It's almost like that argument that isn't centered on a focus about the core mission of the company, and it's more about recognizing them and nobody else.

Yeah, United should have a corporate Chaplin, and start each day with a white-male centric Christian prayer. Maybe we should pass out bibles instead of alcohol wipes? What can we do to make YOU feel secure?

Your argument would make sense if they didn't acknowledge other religous holidays, but they do; Ramadan, Hanukkah. At face value it seems anti-christain.

FYI other races other than "white males" celebrate Easter and are christians.
The post above is great. United has no problem celebrating every other religion and every other holiday under the sun, but conveniently left out Easter and our Christian peers. Epic P.R. fail.
