My biggest problem is that I have is that as a "hands on" operational manager, I have nearly 2 million sq ft of floorspace, and a 5000 acre airfield to get around, sometimes quickly. I also have 4 flights of stairs from the highest level of elevator service, just to get to my office (a functional necessity and not just because I love the view).

Realistically, they're right; I can't do the job any longer. At least, I can't do it anywhere near to the same level, and that would make me miserable.

I'm saddened by that. I will get over it and get on with it. It's not like I have nothing to do; I started a Segway dealership a couple of years ago as a pre-retirement plan, and it's booming. I quess it's time to spend my days there and not worry about aviation as much, right?
