747Flyer: Sorry, no clue. Burbank was before my time here and I don't know if that aircraft had a HUD or not. As for the LGA incident? Don't know, not going to guess. The HUD is not required to be used during every approach, and since this was a visual approach, don't think too many Capts would bring it down. (For those not familiar, on SWA jets, HUD is installed only on the Captains side.
Boeingtanker - that is a real shame that your Captains don't use it more. It is IDEAL for a visual approach - esp. to an airport like LGA. Your only a/c that did not have HUDs were the -200s. Burbank had a HUD - and it was stowed. Just a crying shame. Sort of like the days of deactivated autobrakes/VNAV/LNAV.
