Rivets
Genex mentioned AN's marketing of the demise of the DC9 and introduction of the 737.
Yes, they encased the DC9 rivets in clear polymer (I think it was) and gave them to clients and journos (including my father, who was a journo at the time) as paperweights. There was a blurb (with the new Ansett logo) about the rivets now being redundant or something with their conversion to an "all Boeing" fleet.
I recall that paperweight being on my desk at home (as a schoolboy) for years - think my dad might still have it.
As I remember it, none of the press could understand why Ansett carried on so much about a plane that didn't seem to do anything better than anything else in their fleet - I think they were far more interested in what the hosties
were wearing!
