As an expat Saudia crewmember from the '70's thru 2005, I NEVER felt the airline would not support me, or my family, medically. They were always top notch, whether in Jeddah, in the Kingdom, or anywhere outside. That this could happen to a Saudi captain, of all people, is really a HUGE change. I'm glad my time is over...I think the good times for this airline, sadly, are over. Sam
