Im not sure i understand what your getting at.
Yes modular takes longer but you are earning as well in that time and not borrowing/paying back with interest money for rent/food etc. Your argument about the potential salary lost is not really a valid one IMO because you are not paying back a huge loan for years. You may also get a type rating for the extra cost of integrated and therefore not be paying that back from your salary.
These kind of points though really do vary from person to person and we are getting a bit to in depth.
The bottom line is for the price of an integrated course you could get the same licence + TR and maybe even some hours on type. It is possible to get all this whilst working a full time job and many people do. If you have the money there is nothing wrong at all with integrated but dont think you are any better than anyone else no matter what the schools tell you. And think very carefully about borrowing a huge amount of money or taking your parents equity based on the schools marketing blurb.
