Jet Airways, India's oldest private airline, has been grounded. That was not good news for the company's lenders, air passengers, the economy, but the worst hit are the company's 16,000 employees who hung around during the last few stressful months before getting stranded.

But there may be some good news. WeWork is inviting the staff off Jet Airways to apply for vacancies in the company that provides co-working spaces.


The tweet from WeWork India followed a post on LinkedIn by the Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Bennett.
