Don't knock it. I have made many flights Malaysia <> UK on Malaysian Airlines. They have a special area for the flight deck crew to pray. Given the navigational equipment at their disposal, there's no painted 'arrow' and they are excused during V1 and V2 takeoff procedures, and below 500 feet during the landing phase. It doesn't matter what the 'vehicle' is, there's always a market for Mecca clocks and positional gadgets.
