Dude, it's more about limiting the number of apps they have to process, than it is about anything else.
You can also typically get background checks back quicker on someone that's been a 121 pilot than someone than it is to verify someone that's just been flying 91, and not subject to any federal background checks. With the former, the company can get them on property and out of training quicker. Important stuff when they are hiring at the rate they are.
I can't imagine Airtran is loosing any sleep on not getting the hotshot big iron 91/135 only guys.
Don't sweat it.
