Generally, shoot for a one-page resume. High School jobs would be OK if you are young and don't have much history and it fits on one page.
Non-aviation jobs should be briefly summarized at the bottom...if you did something significant like professional or managerial work, you want them to know that, it shows you are responsible and have work ethic.
Airlines will require complete employment background history on their apps, but you don't have to include that on the resume. Tailor the resume to maximize your odds of getting an interview, it does not have to mirror the application.
