Majority of guys/gals in my interview group had north of 5000 hours. Most had at least some TPIC, some 121, some had 135 or corporate. Average age was probably 35. Some were younger, in their late 20's, some were 55 or so.
It is obviously still competitive, and still a desired place to be.

Depends on the plane.
Warm up times on the 190 are a limitation.
2min warm up/cool down
While there’s no time limitation for the 320 there is a min temp limitation.
50deg C before TO.
But the normal procedures say to let a cold engine arm up for 5min and 2min for a warm engine.

When taking the runway (for line up and wait) do all exterior lights come on, or do the landing lights stay off until cleared for takeoff?

But the 5 minutes and 2 minutes warm up times are just as required as the oil temp one, IMO. "Plan engine start to ensure a minimum warm-up time of 5 minutes if the engine has been shut down for 2 hours or more; 2 minutes is sufficient if less than 2 hours has elapsed." Sounds to me like we are not supposed to take off until meeting the appropriate parameter.
Another one that seems to get ignored sometimes (short taxi) is the 3 minute cool-down after landing. (If more than idle reverse thrust is used on landing, clock doesn't start until reverse thrust is back at idle; otherwise clock starts when thrust levers are at idle during the flare).
While neither of these time periods can be found in chapter two, it is my opinion that they are still limitations, and I treat them as such whenever practical.

How long would it take to hold BOS at American? In recent history it seems like AA hasn’t made Boston a priority, wouldn’t be surprised to see them axe it. Eagle had a BOS base roughly 10 years ago and got rid of it...Doug Parker did the same with US Airways not too long ago either. I see a lot of PHL, NYC and CLT commuters around Logan, at least there’s a lot of frequency on those commutes.

50°C - you are most likely referring to the oil temp prior to T/O. Which will be pretty easy to achieve, even in sub-zero temps).

It’s either a limitation or it’s not.
The limitation for TO is the oil temp.
Those times on the bus are not limitations.
Also stop telling people not to reapply.
You could cost someone a job.
