Ipads
Can someone explain how the Ipads work at Mesa? I know there is a $40 per month allowance - is that for just the ipad purchase? Do we have to supply our own mount (if so, what's approved/recommended for the ejet)? Is a Foreflight and/or Jepp subscription supplied? Are we able to use geo-referenced taxi diagrams? Worth the extra for the cellular ipad to have GPS (even if don't activate the cellular service)? Any other relevant info I might be forgetting? Thanks.

Yes you need your own mount. The most common one that is approved by faa/Mesa is this one
Delkin Devices Fat Gecko Dual Suction Camera Mount (DDMOUNT-SUCTION) https://a.co/d/dT2h2Dx
And
Delkin Fat Gecko Tablet and iPad Bracket (DDMNT-UTAB1)(Bracket only) https://a.co/d/0cp2Q5A
We don't use foreflight in 121 world. Yes jeppesen subscription is provided.
Yes get cellular iPad so you have basic GPS.

You buy your own iPad. 40 per month just goes towards your own iPad purchase.

Agree with all this but the data plan is for more than just GPS. It’s useful for weather, ATIS etc until you hit electronic devices off. Even in airplane mode (required) jepps can be set to swap to taxi diagram on landing. Mesa, however, doesn’t pay for ownship (stupid for jepp to charge for it, stupid for mesa not to pay).

You can pick up an 8th Gen ipad used on eBay for $250 bucks. Mounts are $77 on Amazon.
You'll end up spending about $327
