The arrogant ones are pilots who think that they are not capable of making a mistake like this. The best selection procedures won't guarantee preventing errors. If you want to reduce errors, reduce fatigue. Also, look at safety culture. An organisation practicing good safety culture accepts that errors are inevitable, adopts practices to mitigate against them, and learns from making them or almost making them. We can all learn from the mistake made at Paphos. There have been some great suggestions here which could prevent this happening again (eg annotating L and R runway designators).
