Journo's

Not all Journalists are prats; and no, I'm not one myself, but I know a good one.

Being a bit more upfront when the company allows ( please shoot anyone who uses the phrase pro-active ) would help avoid the mistakes.

Speaking of which, as someone used to dealing with military aircraft - why don't airliners have fuel jettison ???

I can understand it would be embarassing if one leant on the wrong switch while busy with a hostess, likewise some people would complain if fuel was dumped over, say, Crawley from Gatwick ( my complaint would be that it isn't as flammable as Hollywood makes out, if Crawley ) but surely this might be useful for go-rounds at MTOW ?

So, why no fuel dump / jettison ?
