Flying around in circles dumping fuel, but Shep said airbuses can't dump fuel!

I heard that also. If they can't dump it, they have to burn it. It's weight and it's a potential fire hazard. I suppose that they can rev up some thrust while resisting with the flaps and such to burn off fuel more quickly, but I'm only guessing here.
