What type of aeroplane were you flying?

Do ac such as the A330 have a fuel dump system? If not, what would you do with something like severe vibrations shortly after departure at MTOW - or a landing gear which wouldn't retract on an Atlantic crossing. Burn off for hours or land overweight?

What fatigue and inspection penalties are there for landing ac such as the A310 or A330 above normal MLW?
