What are the rest of your stats? I'm assuming you are low time since you are even asking to put this on your resume. I really don't think it has any value without any formal training associated with the time.

Thats the way to do it. That way you have a little something extra to talk to them about when youre at the table with them.

You don't have to be PIC in order to have a High Altitude Endorsement...you just can't be a PIC without it.

Yeah, I don't know where you got that one. High altitude is not type specific. Kind of curious where you heard it though.

It just says that (1)
you may not act as pilot in command of a pressurized aircraft unless you have recieved and logged ground training from an authorized instructor and obtained an endorsment in the person's logbook who certifies the person has satisfactorily accomplished the ground training. The ground training must include.........
(2)
No person may act as pilot in command of a pressurized aircraft unless that person has recieved and logged training from an authorized instructor in a pressureized aircraft or in a flight simulator or flight training device that is representative of a pressurized aircraft, and obtained an endorsement in the persons logbook from an authorized instructor who found the person proficient in the operation of a pressurized aircraft. THe flight training must include at least the following subjects....

This just states that you cannont act as PIC of a pressurized airplane until you get this endorsement, it does not say you need to be a PIC of the aircraft or simulator that was used to get the endorsement.

400 hours is significant time in anything...that would be worth mentioning. A few one hour fun sessions here and there would not be important, and you might be considered silly for bringing it up.

I would not log Level D sim time unless it is part of some kind of formal training. You dont want to give anyone a reason to start doubting your honesty.

Could you put it on your resume under job duties from the internship? Absolutely, even if it was just a benefit of your job!

It has been more than a few one hour fun sessions. It is no where near 400 though. Besides flying them, I put together a Rater-Reliability film for instructor pilots and the FAA. I was part of the crew in that as well.

I would not include this in any of my flight times. In one of the first few posts I asked if I should just state that I have unlogged flight time in those sims

In that sense, I agree...but I'd probably mention anything over 10 hours in a single type-specific simulator (ie mention the 17 hours you have in the 757, but leave out the 3 hours in the Whale). Even that little time can teach someone (even a low-time pilot) quite a bit about flying swept-wing jets. Doing a bunch of 757 auto-lands won't help you, but if you did some handflying, steep turns, perhaps a V1 cut or two that might make the difference in completing training at an airline vs washing out of sim.

At the very least, you can mention you got some experience in a full-flight simulator in the duties portion of the job description and that might get you a question or two on an interview for you to sell yourself.
