The new rules are true but should be no surprise for the people concerned!
As Non-residents in the UK the HMRC charges only taxes on the UK-part
of the income, which means domestic flights or a fixed 15min on each
flight to/from the UK.

The rest of income was therefore not taxed due Non-Residence status.
Germany in turn waived to tax the remaining part of income. Fine.
And exactly that "loophole" is now closed. But: No real surprise, errr ?

The untaxed part is to be taxed in Germany now and this means all german
crews get about the same (net) salary as the colleagues in the UK
(actual tax rates are very similar)
According the rule: "One company, one (net) pay!"
