The recruiters are not pilots and may not have a firm grasp on the regs. I wouldn’t argue right now if it gets you preferential treatment, there will be time to argue later. There are a few non-cadet, non-part 121 pilots in my training class right now. Hiring is likely competitive since there are so few airlines hiring FOs at the moment.
