I think that this report shows a very interesting fact. The fatigue and the human error a strongly correlated to the fact that fatigue + human perception are very strong and can led to confuse both pilots. I think that with all the info (NOTAM, ATIS) and also the visual clues, it's was really obvious which was the RWY and which one was the TWY but with the fatigue together with some bias about the airport rwy configuration, led to this almost tragic event.

I am also really surprise about the visual approaches during night, i think it could add another level of difficulty.

We need to really be careful about fatigue, especially in the future where I can see pressure coming to reduce level of cost on crew side, with the increase of fuel price!
