I and my team were pax on an AMC flight that wasn't too broke to depart the ME, but was somehow too broke to fly after landing in southern Spain. Called my boss, he said COMAIR was expensive, just get hotels and wait it out. I think he was expecting a day or two, but we ended up with about ten days of all-expenses paid liberty in Cadiz.
