Narrative:

My leg flying into rsw shfty 1 STAR note 2 indicates a heading of 220 to be flown from moemo intersection for radar vectors landing runway 24 at rsw. Turned to heading 220 at moemo. Approximately. 1 minute later approach control gave us a heading of 190 and a descent to 6000 ft. Once established on the heading controller asked if we had the NOTAM concerning the shfty 1 arrival. Subsequently cleared for visual approach to runway 24 for an otherwise uneventful landing. At the gate reviewed the situation and found NOTAM amongst the voluminous paperwork received at ZZZ prior to departure. It states -- after moemo fly direct to lbv VOR and then by a 190 heading for vectors landing runway 24. Captain and I missed two opportunities to receive the NOTAM information. At the departure gate and on the ATIS.supplemental information from acn 818110: the reason I didn't see the NOTAM in our flight docs; was because I didn't look for it. I had been to rsw recently and hadn't seen anything leading me to believe there would be anything unusual on this trip. With the volume of flights that we make on a weekly basis; we become complacent about some of the details of the flight such as a thorough review of the doc package. This particular aspect of flight prep is made all the more onerous by the sheer volume of information presented for review on each flight. For example; on our flight between two east coast cities; we get sigmets and airmets from as far away as the northern plains. We get NOTAMS from facility outages 500 miles to the side of our line of flight. We get NDB NOTAMS when we don't even have ADF's on the airplane fleet. The sheer volume of information will sometimes exceed 15 linear feet in length of printer paper. When you consider that we some times fly 6 flights in a single day; and a lot of the material we receive for review is irrelevant; you can start to appreciate how a comprehensive search for relevant material becomes quite tedious and eventually; glossed over. I think a worthwhile change in our document package might be to somehow pare it down to material that is actually relevant to the flight we are flying at the time.

Title: AN AIR CARRIER CREW DID NOT READ ALL OF THE APPLICABLE NOTAMS NOR LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE ATIS AND SO MISSED A CHANGE TO THE RSW SHFTY ONE STAR AT MOEMO INTERSECTION RESULTING IN A TRACK DEVIATION.

Narrative: MY LEG FLYING INTO RSW SHFTY 1 STAR NOTE 2 INDICATES A HEADING OF 220 TO BE FLOWN FROM MOEMO INTERSECTION FOR RADAR VECTORS LANDING RUNWAY 24 AT RSW. TURNED TO HEADING 220 AT MOEMO. APPROX. 1 MINUTE LATER APPROACH CONTROL GAVE US A HEADING OF 190 AND A DESCENT TO 6000 FT. ONCE ESTABLISHED ON THE HEADING CONTROLLER ASKED IF WE HAD THE NOTAM CONCERNING THE SHFTY 1 ARRIVAL. SUBSEQUENTLY CLEARED FOR VISUAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 24 FOR AN OTHERWISE UNEVENTFUL LANDING. AT THE GATE REVIEWED THE SITUATION AND FOUND NOTAM AMONGST THE VOLUMINOUS PAPERWORK RECEIVED AT ZZZ PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. IT STATES -- AFTER MOEMO FLY DIRECT TO LBV VOR AND THEN BY A 190 HEADING FOR VECTORS LANDING RUNWAY 24. CAPTAIN AND I MISSED TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO RECEIVE THE NOTAM INFORMATION. AT THE DEPARTURE GATE AND ON THE ATIS.SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 818110: THE REASON I DIDN'T SEE THE NOTAM IN OUR FLIGHT DOCS; WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T LOOK FOR IT. I HAD BEEN TO RSW RECENTLY AND HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE WOULD BE ANYTHING UNUSUAL ON THIS TRIP. WITH THE VOLUME OF FLIGHTS THAT WE MAKE ON A WEEKLY BASIS; WE BECOME COMPLACENT ABOUT SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THE FLIGHT SUCH AS A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THE DOC PACKAGE. THIS PARTICULAR ASPECT OF FLIGHT PREP IS MADE ALL THE MORE ONEROUS BY THE SHEER VOLUME OF INFORMATION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW ON EACH FLIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE; ON OUR FLIGHT BETWEEN TWO EAST COAST CITIES; WE GET SIGMETS AND AIRMETS FROM AS FAR AWAY AS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WE GET NOTAMS FROM FACILITY OUTAGES 500 MILES TO THE SIDE OF OUR LINE OF FLIGHT. WE GET NDB NOTAMS WHEN WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ADF'S ON THE AIRPLANE FLEET. THE SHEER VOLUME OF INFORMATION WILL SOMETIMES EXCEED 15 LINEAR FEET IN LENGTH OF PRINTER PAPER. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT WE SOME TIMES FLY 6 FLIGHTS IN A SINGLE DAY; AND A LOT OF THE MATERIAL WE RECEIVE FOR REVIEW IS IRRELEVANT; YOU CAN START TO APPRECIATE HOW A COMPREHENSIVE SEARCH FOR RELEVANT MATERIAL BECOMES QUITE TEDIOUS AND EVENTUALLY; GLOSSED OVER. I THINK A WORTHWHILE CHANGE IN OUR DOCUMENT PACKAGE MIGHT BE TO SOMEHOW PARE IT DOWN TO MATERIAL THAT IS ACTUALLY RELEVANT TO THE FLIGHT WE ARE FLYING AT THE TIME.
