V, all the info you are asking is on the BALPA website, in the public domain. Click
http://www.balpa.org/intranet and look at the "About BALPA" link.
An interesting aside is that one of our pilots approached an independant financial advisor and asked what it would cost to buy the various products that make up our package, like loss of licence insurance, death in service, private healthcare, tax deductable allowance etc and was quoted £1500 a month! These were all negotiated by the Company Council over the years. Suddenly 1% doesn't look that much after all.......
