Caveat: this is not the case in my single-seat world.
Retiree or separatee... it is discussed in the healthy manner that it should be... where intelligent pilots and officers weigh the pros and the cons... and make informed decisions. As someone who went to the airlines and then returned (twice), I was often in these conversations.
If your community doesn't tolerate that, and the CC allows retribution for it, that's a shame.
