Get the one that best fits your budget. You can get the lowest and cheapest model (used iPad 2, 16 GB) for around $120 on eBay.

Or you can get the latest model (new iPad Air 2 64GB) for $600.

I use an iPad 2 16GB and it's perfectly fine for daily jepp usage and PDF viewing.

It wouldn't surprise if ALPA were engaged telling management about what is really going on out on the line. It also wouldn't surprise me if management told ALPA to keep their opinions to themselves. Good thing I can just drive up to Dallas for the race weekend at TMS and not worry about non-reving.

Ditto. And when crew tracking calls me, I answer and say, "please hold", then go back to what I was doing.

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.

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.
