Ask a recruiter how the iPad selection works. For the pilots that were here, you just elected if you want a company iPad or BYOD, BYOD device you are paid a monthly stipend- basically 500$ over 36 months. I imagine it will be similar to a new hire.
As far as what iPads are allowed, it's iPad Air 2 or newer/better, as long as it fits the mount. The mount is sized exactly to the iPad Air 2, without a case. So iPad Pro 12.5 inch doesn't work, the original iPad Pro 9.7 does, but the 10.5 is physically bigger than the air 2, both in width and length (if you don't believe me put on over the other in a store). The iPad Pro 10.5 will bend/break the mount in the plane.
