What I think happened here is that he misunderstood "Warrior" as me
saying "four" or something. When I file all I say for type is PA-28,
and to ATC guys a PA-28 is a Cherokee. So from that point on, I now use
Cherokee as my call sign, even though it says "Warrior III" on the
side, and nowhere in the POH or anywhere else does it have the word
"Cherokee". I know its not a big deal, but I was just wondering, what
do all the other Warrior people use?

Most (but not all) tower controllers will change a Warrior, Archer,
Dakota callsign to Cherokee. It's not because of speed. The main
reason is that they often have to call you out as traffic for other
aircraft. Cessna drivers often do not know what a Warrior, Archer or
Dakota might look like. Could be a single or a twin for all they know.
Most everyone knows what a Cherokee looks like. In my early flying
days, I was a Cessna-only pilot. I had no idea what Archer or Warrior
was.

Whenever I'm flying a later model PA28, I always use the Cherokee
call sign.
