With 2500 121 SIC, it wouldn't surprise me to see you awarded upgrade in a matter of a few months. You'd just need two rec letters from Mesa captains.

I would not consider an IPad 2. My guess is it will not be supported after September as the next new model will probably be revealed.

You could probably get a used 4th gen for pretty cheap. Comes with that HD retina display too which is nice.

I use an iPad 2 16GB and it's perfectly fine for daily jepp usage and PDF viewing.
Don't get the IPAD 2!! Jepp FD Pro will not support it later this year. Then eventually the 3 and so on. Get the newest IPAD.

That's BS, a ton of pilots have the 2 and there's no reason it couldn't be supported indefinitely.

We got a memo sept 2014 saying the iPad 1 was no longer supported, and we were no longer able to use it. Why do you think sept 2015 will be any different for the iPad 2?

Base pay + premium. Even if we had 0 200's.

You're also gonna need an iPad mount because there is not one in the airplane and the company does not provide them.

With that, you'll also need to apply for government assistance as Mesa pay is meager at best. But hey, congrats!
