BENGALURU: Shocked by the sudden shutdown of Jet Airways, the beleaguered employees of the airline in the city are now seeing a ray of hope. Though help had started pouring in from various rival airlines for staffers such as pilots, cabin crew and technicians, the other workers were feeling left in the lurch. The crisis had left many of the 22,000 staffers unpaid over the last few months, finally leading to unemployment.
However, bringing some relief to the employees and their families, some tech companies and start-ups have come forward to try and take them on board. Lowe’s India, for instance, announced on Tuesday that it is planning to hire employees of the carrier for IT-related job positions.
