this is probably the case. PSA has been giving pilots 400 a year to pay for this, then big daddy AA decides he is giving the initial allotment to everyone for free ( as it should be by the way )

No emails or anything to pilots. Talked to an interim base coordinator last week, and she was amazed the pilots had received nothing, since the FA's have been given all this info on everything.

I don't believe Hats are required, but it is in the initial allotment.

Take everything they give you my friend, its your only chance to get it free.
