I have been working to build that number up, and I am not trying to pad my logbook. I have no time in it that I haven't been flying the aircraft. How did you get your "real world" experience? How did you make yourself stand out in the interview? I'm interested in more suggestions if this is some sort of inadequate way to try and make myself stand out to those reading my resume. All I ask is that you don't forget that you too were once a low-time pilot with ambitions to move to an airline. Don't forget there are still some young kids out there who are trying to do their best building as much time and experience as possible so they can move on to their next step.

If there are two CFI's with the same exact qualifications but one person has had this experience in these full motion sims, who do you think they will call? It is just one more thing to add on your resume

For whatever its worth, I had over 400 hours of unlogged, yet documented, Level D sim experience (in three different types) from working at a 121 carrier when I was applying for flying jobs. I did not list that number with flight times on my resume, rather included it with the duties of the job.

I was always asked about it during interviews...but it never hurt me.

If the point of all this is that some low time guy is trying to come up with filler to try and make the resume stand out its not too smart. Basiclly all of the guys with 500TT trying to get jet jobs are completely unquallified to be there in the first place. They are just at a good place in time right now and can take advantage of the opportunity.

However, the undocumented sim time and the high dive will take you farther at the interview. It really shows you above average interest in your profession. If you really want to have something at the interview try to work in the conversation how MAC on a swept wing works (there are a lot of guys with 1000's of hours of jet time that can't do it). Thats when you need them to notice you.

I seriously doubt it would give you a leg up -- who are you trying to BS here? Don't BS your way into a company because they will catch it and cut you into bits and pieces during an interview... keep your resume neat and simple... you don't have to put everything in there, just the highlights.
