Ah, but a distant second to AA's "Captain Cowboy", now retired. I wish I had a pic of him.
CC had a blue Stetson made with the AA chicken on it, and other assorted cowboy accoutrements. His PA's went something like this (and I am not kidding)...
"Howdy folks, Cap'n Cowboy here. Yeah, I'm a real Cowboy. At this time, I'd like all my fillies to head to the corral, because we are about to move 'em out! Yeehaw!"
It was insanely over the top. Every PA had cowboyish symbology. FA's were fillies, passengers cattle, pilots wranglers, etc.
No one got more pax mail than CC. It was surprisingly evenly divided. Some despised him, some thought he was great entertainment.
