So this IPad has a data plan right? I was never issued an airport express or any other kind of wireless router, so how am I supposed to set this thing up or even update it on the road internationally...

Some have WiFi in lobby only. I personally would not want to sit around a hotel lobby just to get the company mandated updates!

operational efficiency, use mobile data. Enable LTE to utilize faster network speeds where available. Leave Data Roaming OFF. Roaming data costs are extremely expensive, and will be automatically monitored. If you incur roaming charges, they will need to be justified to Flight Management.

Get one. Works great. Lasts long time.
You can run as many devices as you want. Great for family road trips too. I've had as many as 8 devices running at a time.
I know $41 is too much for a International Wide-body Capt, but somehow I think most can budget it in, just 2 fewer beers.
