I asked this question earlier; no reply, yet. In some of my previous airlines, at those bases which flew to destinations with operationally critical issues, there was a 'notam' board in the crew room kept up to date by the local crew room manager. This was very useful. Does ez employ this type of conspicuous highlight system? I appreciate that ez has a large network, but not all destinations are served from all bases.
If this system is in use this item should have been up there along with e.g. U/S air starters, ILS, CAT 2/3, closed runways with time windows, etc. There is so much buff & trivia in NOTAM's that noticing the critical ones is often tricky. Much also depends on how much time the company allows for flight planning. Some airlines use quite short check-in periods, but yet increase the amount of self-help briefing necessary. The days of 'dispatchers' at this level are over.
Does your airline make it easier for you?
