They are part 61 rules for the record, but you are not applying for an FAA cert when you are applying to an airline. The FAA doesn't require a passport, FCC license, college degree, turbine time, or any of the other "above and beyond" requirements for their certs and ratings. You can log time however you want, you only have to log it according to FAA regulations when it's for regulatory requirements (recency, etc). An ATP with 1500 hrs is the same as one with 15,000 hrs to the FAA. To your airline, this may make a difference. Most of the airlines are now more specific in how they ask you to list hours for these reasons. Put it on your resume as you wish.
