Oh yeah...definitely reading them. When getting ATIS via ACARS it's easy to just read the first 1/4 of the report to get wind direction, speed, temp, meter...etc. Some airports that we fly out of ALL the time have the same old crap info such as birds in the area and LAHSO going on so they're in the last 3/4 of the report. It's easy to become complacent and forget to continue and read the WHOLE thing ... you just expect the same old stuff. Gotta push "Next Page".
