To bail out on somebody

Dear teachers...

Is this sentence OK?

Are you bailing out on me?

Does it means someone is getting financial help?

Thanks

offroad Are you bailing out on me? The meaning of this expression is closer to "bailing out of an airplane" than "bailing someone out of jail," or helping them financially. " The blue quote suggests the person is leaving at a very critical time, when you need his help very badly.
