A US Airways pilot from Utah and a flight attendant from Arizona have been arrested following a "very, very violent attack" on the flight attendant's ex-husband.

Edward George Meyer of Park City is accused of ambushing the 48-year-old man on Friday about 7 p.m. and severely beating him in the parking lot of Desert Vista High School, where the man is a volunteer baseball coach.

Meyer had flattened a tire on the man's car to help facilitate the assault,according to Phoenix police detective James Holmes. The man was in the process of fixing the tire when Meyer drove up and began to pummel him with his fists, Holmes said.

"No weapons, no dangerous instruments, just a very, very violent attack," the detective said. "He beat him pretty badly."

The coach suffered serious injuries to his face and a disfigured ear, but was able to identify Meyer as his attacker, Holmes said. The man told police he had been having problems with his ex-wife, Valerie Hayes, and Meyer, whom he identified as Hayes' boyfriend. The two have been involved with one another for "quite a while," the victim told police.

My thoughts:

We expect to be able to trust these people with our lives, every time we fly.  I had to make a new category for this story but I think it fares well to show the mental capacity of those people we are told to trust.
