No Hoppy,

Fuel is Jettisoned. Thats why Boeing have the "Fuel Jettison" QRH check lists.

The only dumping that takes place is when the skipper takes a physiological break.

Boeing recommend not to Jettison in the hold and caution descending at the same time.

Myth 2 seems sensible but then you shoudnt be in a thunderstorm at any time.

p.s 4000ft AGL limit from the manufacturer. We use 5000ft min
