Is this a measure of competitiveness or something?

Of course it is, as it is anywhere. The more applicants, the greater an employers ability to be more selective. More applicants often points to a more desireable position, and thus an employers ability to raise the bar. Take SWA for example. For a long time they required a 737 type, and somehow they never had a problem filling classes.

Two classes of 8 a month at the moment.

I am fairly certain that Sun Country doesn't have a massive pile of resumes. It's not even the same league as someone like SWA.

I remember hearing a few years ago it was around 4000 resumes..
Who knows how many were even qualified and how many were just applying to apply along with sending resumes to the big 3 and the freighters. I would think with the regional flows people will just stick it out until they can flow. Plus the 737 type really doesn't carry the weight it once did.

Whatever value it may or may not be, I know this "resumes on file" has zero to do with the current interview selection, hiring, one's chances, etc. Even with a resume sent in a few years ago, it's not going to be up-to-date and the pilot is probably at another company. It's irrelevant in all likelihood to speculate the amount applicants Sun Country receives and considers.
