Not saying airmen aren’t responsible for checking them but after thousands of pages of NOTAMs about unlit obstacles and bird types flying across the airfield, pilots could be forgiven for suffering from NOTAM overload thereby missing the one really, really important bit of information.
100% agree with that however the solution to that requires someone to take responsibility and no office worker in aviation is going to do that. It’s all about avoiding responsibility. That starts at the CEO and works it’s way down.
