This might sound useful from a technical point of view but in my opinion 
not from a user experience view.

Let assume calendar A has first day of week set to Monday, calendar B 
has it set to Sunday and calendar C has it set to Saturday. All are 
enabled and visible. Now you switch to a calendar view. How will the 
calendar view be displayed? What day is first?

IMHO you still need the one global setting that controls this behavior.
