Really? I just started playing them myself, but both me and my opponents weren't under that impression. The rule on the warscroll for Disengage states: "This model and any models in its garrison can still shoot if this model retreats the same turn, as long as there are no enemy units that can fly within 3" of this model at the start of the retreat move..." 

The way that is written suggests to me that models in the garrison count as having retreated. Either way, preventing the ships from shooting is still a worthy tool in our toolbox! 

Essentially Disengage references only normal/retreat move explicitly.  Garrison doesn't move, and neither would vessel using fly high as it's redeploy which doesn't fall under normal move.

 

EDIT: there is lot of added language, which doesn't references rules directly in skyvessels warscroll. In case of disangage and garrisoning models I guess it was to preempt questions about that. When it comes to fly high it again looks like essentialy saying "yes, indeed you can use this to flee combat". It's just additional text.

Right now FAQs for KO is without its designer commentary for some reason, but units inside ships don't care about retreating from combat. They don't count as charging, running etc. either. In case of fly high they themselves didn't made move.

I don't remeber how it was with ships, but Disengage itself only mentions movement and Fly High is setup.
