Flight times to put on a resume?

While I agree with the symantics of technical vs technological, it was the FAA that did the naming. Although, I'm sure ATP, JetU, etc will take full advantage of it....

Come on now Kell, I see a Skymates ad at the top of my screen right now showing off their "flat panel" and wanting me to "try the latest technology".

It was what gets people in to check out the school. G1000s are huge for marketing and I can't blame any school for pushing it.
 
The strategy I used when making my resume was to keep it simple. You don't want to drop all of your experience onto your resume. Just list the basics that they will use to consider granting an interview with. When you get to the interview, they'll ask questions about your logbook. You can then explain to them what kind of airplanes, etc. etc. you have flown. It gives them more of an opportunity to get to know you vs. your resume.
I would put TT, ME time, XC time, Complex time (if you're going for an instructing gig), and instrument time (either separated or combined). If you really want them to know about these glass airplanes, high performance time, etc. etc., put these items under your current jobs as bullet points. This way they'll ask you about them.
Every company wants to get to know the people they're interviewing because they want to make sure the person will fit in with their corporate culture and not cause them grief. Giving them a little teaser on a resume is the best way for them to get to know you.....
