There are one or two germans (afterall, that's who we are now managed by) however, maybe I have read your post wrong but in our contract it states that you must live within 75 mins of the airport you are based at. You can not 'commute' from the continent (unfortunately).
There are one or two pilots (from abroad) that have a property nearby and live there during working days / standby days but go home on days off.
There are only really the agreements within the TUI network but you don't get those until in the company for 1 year.
Hope this helps !!!
