The answer is no.

Thanks for the help...I was looking at the SWA website when I should have been looking at the AirTran website. Now that I know the conversion rate (thanks very much!) I just can't find anything on the AirTran website that tells me how many points a flight is, as well as how to book it with points. Maybe it's just me but I am finding very little info on the website. I see conversion rates, but not how to book with points or how many points flights cost. Is it a standard rate per flight? How can you tell availability? I will try to poke around some more....thanks all.
A one-way coach ticket is 8 credits and a one-way business class is 16 credits. In order to book with points, you have to sign up for an AirTran rewards account. After you do this, you will have the option to book with reward credits.
Unlike Southwest, AirTran limits when you can use credits and for what type of seating so even though there is a flight, reward travel may not be available. My advice is not to transfer your points to AirTran until you make sure the flight you need is available for reward travel.
This! We should have waited! However, I have noticed that the reward flights change VERY frequently, so we're just going to keep checking and hoping for something that works better for us.
