How exactly would arrogance lead a crew (an arrogant crew??) to land at the wrong airport?

Fatigue, complacency, habit, carelessness I can see, but arrogance (or training for that matter) seems pretty left-field reasons to put it mildly.

Despite rumours to the contrary the report only says they've been suspended pending investigation, no mention of being sacked. Even so, why the heck not sack them? What else to do with them? Do you retain a doctor for the fluffy treatment when he's just removed the wrong leg?

How the heck does anyone mistake a 1400m local strip for a 3000m international airport? Perhaps someone can post pics of the two for comparison, they are so very different. The only similarity seems to be both have a Rwy 29.

Baffling.
