Pretty much all airlines will do it for crew members of another airline that folds if they can. There won't be an "official" policy because there cannot be but where space available they will do what they can. Aircrew you help may be a colleague in a month or two.
Old neighbour was a FO, stranded in Spain when airline went, Easyjet looked after him, well aircrew did as they had no guidance, Captain decided he was taking him and some of the cabin crew, Ryanair took others into Stansted. He joined Easyjet couple of months after. He flew as FO with the guy who brought him back and said Captain got queried as to number of NonRev passengers and put on report at base by jonny jobsworth. Report went to next level a senior pilot just scrawled "Well done that guy, great call, credit to us, pass on my personal congrats on doing the right thing" and sent it back.
