Sorry to disappoint, not a "hot" irish lass here.
A hot Irish lad then? Not that I'd be in the least interested, mind you.

Vacuum deposition coatings on a 737 cockpit window are rather unlikely, firstly because they would cost a fortune (think of the surface area) secondly because they're not as durable as simple tinted glass. The best I can do is to say that if the glass appears clear and not tinted than it's most likely just plain glass, so no UV filter at all. I don't have direct knowledge though, sorry.
