I'm with Dreamshiner on this one. I think sixty quid is a bit steep to say the least - almost Ryanairesque!!!! When I was a FT flying instructor and a regional TP pilot (associate and full BALPA membership held throughout both employs) I always felt (and still do ) that BALPA spent far too little time, effort and resources in looking after the smaller players. I'd like to see the association becoming far more involved in looking out for FT FIs Ts and Cs particularly..............And yes, I am still a fully paid up member of the union.
