It is not tosh - BA have taken and do take some few modular. They have in the past had extremely large problems with some of those not being able to cope with the pressure, requiring further expensive training, and as a result will only touch those with one clear training record completed in minimum time. Remember that exceptions prove the rule - they too will take an exceptional modular candidate if that is demonstrated to them, but don't make life hard for yourself.
Ladder climbing is more likely in smaller operations rather than large bureaucracies, however take a commercial flying job wherever you are able, and don't limit your options as you could focus on the wrong 2 or 3, else you will struggle.
