Excerpt From Thread:

"Friend of mine did an MD11 course with Swissair, (before the SR111 accident), he says
they are absolutely OBSESSED about fuel-dumping, not landing over-weight etc.
regardless of the nature of the emergency.
Just passing on a first-hand tale.

Good tale Methusalah. It sure explains a lot things being reported. I expect the
lawyers at Swissair are running the show at the present time in hopes of stonewalling
the impending lawsuits.
