I have had the pleasure of being on three flights with the Champ, all of which involved Las Vegas. Two were on United and one was on AA. On the AA flight, he was seated in Y. I felt bad because I was in F (but I guess not that bad because I didn't offer to switch).
On the two UA flights, he was up and about a little, letting pax take pictures with him and giving them autographs. On one, the captain did the same thing as yours upon landing - he announced that Ali was on the flight and the whole airplane erupted in loud applause - it was great and he loved it.
Really a "Champ" in all ways!!
