I think what he means is that regardless of their membership of BALPA all BA pilots benefit (or not, if you believe that) from BALPAs collective negotiations with BA. In the past people who resigned from BALPA were inclined to to give an equivalent amount to their subs to charity to indicate they were not simply freeloading from colleagues who continued to pay their dues. I doubt it happens much today.
