Given all the NOTAM guff we have to study during the very very short flight planning phase at the start of the day I would hope there would be a very conspicuous method to alert us to any deficiencies in the system.
In the USA, anticipated difficulties are clearly indicated in NOTAMS well beforehand.

Perhaps if some European carriers had a reasonable dispatch department in place (Monarch and Lufthansa are especially good in this department, in my experience) all this shuffling through NOTAMS would then be done by the dispatch staff, and called to the attention of the pilots.

You get what you pay for.
