Statements like this help no-one. Fuel dumping, I don't think so
Comments like this and calls to complain must be justified. Anyony in breach of regs should be brought to book but speculaton is not a good thing. Pilots are not prepared to cut corners compromising safety, the guys are as professional as most of the personnel within the aviation industry.(regardless of company).

Sidetracking a bit...I remember taking a flying complaint back in '91 from a very irate new homeowner, who had just paid nearly £400k (a lot for a property then) in an idilic location to find out that having viewed at the weekend- peace and tranquility.....Monday morning the RAF came to life and good ol' VC10s' approaching at Brize flew straight over the top at 3 miles finals to rwy 26....What could I say " sorry you may find that the the airfield has been around for some time...I'll pass on your objections but i'm afraid there is not much else can be done" ...triple glazing and a loud TV may be needed?
How many people have had that scenario ? Quite a few I think.
The worst person for noise complaints I had was a retired ATCO
