Not on CAL NGs.
I'll keep the remainder of my comments on this to myself.

In his words, there was a 'rash' of tail-stikes on their -800's sometime back. The operational fix at AA was to have the CA's use the HUD on all takeoffs to provide 'increased' SA of AOA at rotation into 2nd segment to assist in not slapping the tail on takeoff.
Maybe AA's NG guys can speak more on this......

The only dual HUD (CA/FO) on a Boeing 'Part 121' a/c that I know of is going to be on the B787....saw it in the Sim in IAH this week.

The HUD is required to be down on all DAL takeoffs as well, but it is not due to tail strikes. Apparently there was a number of cases of it coming unlatched and hitting guys on the head, so they just require it to be down on all takeoffs.
