If you're only looking for representation in the event of disciplinaries/accidents etc, you can get legal insurance for such events and use legal advice under that cover.
By continuing to pay your subs to Bassa, you are supporting their leaders, their tactics and undermining your own ability to have a future at BA. Those guys you see on telly saying how disgraceful BA have behaved are union employees - they don't work for BA, so couldn't care two hoots if BA went under. (In fact, for the more wildly left wing of them it would represent a victory for the workers over the capitalist system, something they've longed to see.)
I wouldn't give them a penny of my money. Spend it on good legal insurance, and still have peace of mind in both respects.
Oh, and support PCCC, you've nothing to lose by helping it gain a voice!
