LLuke you do sound a bit lazy, sorry for saying.

We get payed a lot of money to do our job.
I think reading and understanding the notams and other information on the airport you are flying to is part of your responsibilities as an airline pilot.

And there is always the possibility to ask. When in doubt ask.
Dont just assume it must be the landing runway.

I also have flown to airports were taxiways were used as runways.
But everytime we flew there we made absolutely sure what the correct landing runway was. And even if you know the taxiway could be used as runway, that should make you even more aware.
if RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF NORMAL OPERATIONS ON RWY 14/32 is listed in the notams, the least it should do is ring a bell.

Perhaps I am to carefull.
also not saying it could never happen to me.
