"Supposidly that plane has no ability to dump fuel

That was from 2 aircraft mechanics I work with"

Isn't that a safety hazard? What if you have to make an emergency landing and you can't fly around for three hours?

unfortunatly it is not illegal.. I consider it a safety issue but the airbus 320 (imagine that a french aircraft with out a important safety feature.) does not have the ability to dump excess gas.

I heard an Air Bus rep say this plane was designed to take a belly landing.
