In the states the pursuit of happiness really means the pursuit of money which is why you'll always hear the tax argument as a first rebuttal. It has been like this since the end of ww2 with the consumerist boom.
To each their own...

Both 2018 and 2019 apps went straight to inactive after getting the “We have plenty of qualified applicants” message. I’ve got well above the minimums, and I don’t believe there are any major red flags in my app. Thoughts?

I heard at one point a while ago that HR would look at apps from a window of time perspective, e.g., everything from November. They would select their most desired and second tiers then send off the hogan invites. The “most desired” attributes would change between windows to keep diversity in new hire backgrounds with the focus being mainly around the realms of corporate, military and civilian experience. The leftovers from the windows would be held and possibly used when a subsequent window was weak in numbers or stats. I always liked this model as it explained why some would get the call and not others with equivalent resumes, why some were active vs on file from year to year, why some wait longer than others, etc. Essentially, there is an element of luck in timing when applying. The source was a senior guy in the training center. Again, it’s all dated and unverified but could be useful if you’re trying to wrap your head around hiring logic...

I wasn’t denigrating any political views. I explained, or tried to at least, why it may be hard for Americans to understand Scandinavian happiness and vice versa.
Moving on...

App Question
App Question:
Below the flight time grid section, the next section, Part B, has Total PILOT time: ok
Below that is "Total hours in aircraft requiring two or more pilots:" ?
there are two spaces here, side by side.
Can anyone explain what the two are for? one obviously is the total, the second?
Or is this possibly PIC/ SIC?
