As the others as, get to the gp now. However, you can fly if you are controlled. NPPL carries the same criteria as HGV. It is between you and your gp. If you are after a CPL, then you have a problem but be grateful. You won't have to fork out 100,000 to end up in competition for a dwindling number of decent seats. Instead, you can have a different, fulfilling career doing something else. This will pay for a long and happy amateur flying life.
