I'm not sure if there are "published mins" but I believe the unofficial numbers are somewhere around 3000TT, an ATP, and some Turbine PIC. Everyone in my class had ~1000 turbine PIC. Exceptions have been, and no-doubt, will continue to be made.
A typical class of 12 will have about 6 regional types, 4 furloughees, and 2 "other" be it jet-freight, or corporate.
No one knows exactly when AAY will hire again. The SFB CP told me the other day that the company will hire 50 by years end. I personally don't know how they will pull that off unless they start this summer, but the system CP told me a month ago "fall". Once it does begin though, I assume it will be constant for around a year.
Just so some don't get discouraged by the possible PIC requirement.....I got hired here in late '04 with around 3400 total and the only PIC I had was about 400 flight instructor. 0 turbine PIC. I did however have about 2000 jet. I have heard from some it is a either/or with turbine PIC/or jet time. As Otto has said, I have heard the same 40-50 more newhires this year starting ~ Sept timeframe. Good luck all!
