What would have been sensible, as long as language and meaning have become pliable almost in an Orwellian way, is to declare NOTAM - and its plural form, NOTAMs - words in and of themselves. They no longer would have been abbreviated forms for other words, but instead would have meaning as they stand without being broken down. If asked what they refer to, the answer would be along the lines of, "notices of changed information that pilots, you know, people who operate flying machines, need to know".
Calling people who operate flying machines "air missions" ..... senseless, or devoid of sensibility at least.
