AA was not being paid by the SRCA (Saudi Red Crescent Authority), so they simply stopped paying employees and the employees began leaving enmasse. The chairman of AA, has still not paid the employees what is owed, even though money is there for it. The employees were contracted by AA, not the SRCA, so Action is on the hook for the payments. Some of the guys are looking at what legal options are available.
Problem is, it appears once again the only winners will be the scumbag lawyers.
