EAT Brussels have a fixed roster pattern which is 8/6, the 7/7 is on the Airbus which is flown on the Irish register and crewed by AIr contractors. The rumour is that EAT germany will not have the same as it is seen as less productive than a flex roster. EAT Germany will also have lower terms and conditions than the old Belgium company had, whilest the employee enjoy the higher tax regime in Germany. Regardless of where you live if you are based in LEJ the Geramns will expect you to pay tax and NI in Germany. How that will affect tax situation of those that commute in from other countries will be interesting to see
