Ok, while everyone else is busy p!$$!ng in each other's Cheerios, here is my advice (for what little it's worth):

You're on the right track. It's your resume, not the company's application form. List those attributes you have which make you a good candidate for the job or differentiate you from other candidates. The resume's job is to get you noticed and get you in the door for the interview or to receive the official application.

Personally, I'd leave the amount of flight time off since it's fairly small and simply list it as "Experience in turbojet flight operations - CE-525" (or whatever the designator is for the CJ2). I don't recall it the CJ is a Part 25 aircraft, if it is I might change turbine to "transport category." You haven't in anyway lied about your experience, but you have pointed out that you have experience in the right seat of a jet. Hopefully you can talk about the specifics thereof in the interview, at which time you can clarify (if necessary) that you haven't logged the time, since it doesn't count for anything, but that you did gain valuable experience from it. Hopefully you'll be able to continue flying in that aircraft, because you are gaining experience (I would keep track of that time so you can reference it, just not in the logbook).
