In actual fact i think you will find that a large amount of pilots within BA come from the modular route and fly quite happily without buckling under the pressure???????.However they were employed before the current regime were put in place.Don`t get me wrong,the chance of doing a fully intergrated course all nipped in the bud in the shortest time is great, but at the end of the day we are not all as fortunate as otherS to do this. The bottom line is that we all have to sit the same ground exams and fly the same flight tests.In this no quater is given and therefore lmplying that intergrated training holds a higher degree of learning than that of modular is tosh.This is getting off the thread somewhat and so in summary to the original question yes join an airline, you may get lucky, especially at a smaller outfit.
