Why not actually go to training at that point? It would be easy money for them. Two weeks notice? That's not even a thing WRT retiring? Why wouldn't someone in that situation at least go through training? Get paid well for a bit longer and collect another type. In the unlikely event it gets really ugly, "stop the sim, its been real y'all". Otherwise once trained, might as well do OE/TOE. Then ACARS on the last inbound and request the retirement fire hoses. If I was in that zone that's probably what I'd do.
