Wednesday, July 1st: According to Baaghi TV, Mr. Anupam Verma has a certificate which shows that he has flown for 360 hours. He says he got his license after sitting on the co-pilot’s seat for just 35 minutes. Mr Verma, the son of a poor farmer, was paid by the Indian government to learn to fly a commercial jet    (59,600$). “What do I know if I’m flying and there’s an emergency?” Mr. Verma said in an interview. I didn’t know how or where to land. Not only will we kill the passengers, we may collapse in a village and kill more people. When Mr. Verma, realized he could not get flight experience, he sued the Flying School for a refund.
