Your resume should not ever anywhere combine these two numbers into one. You do not have 1000+ hours, no matter how valuable you think those extra hours are. I do agree that you have gained more experience than just being a passenger, but the FAA doesn't see it that way, and you want an interviewer to see that you are representing yourself in the same matter. The interviewers will see this "apprenticeship" on your resume and surely ask about it. Then you get to tell your story about how valuable that experience was to you and your professional development as a corporate pilot.

I think doing it this way, nobody could by any stretch think you are being misleading about your actual legal flight experience, while still giving you an opportunity to talk about job related experience that has value to you.
