One consideration would be the potential for a fuel dump system
malfunciton...

What would you be asking if an A320 had gone kersplash in the ocean because
of a fuel loss from a dump system that it didn't need?

Does anyone have any insight into why the A320 isn't able to dump fuel.
What factors would go into such a design compromise?

Well, what navigational error caused an A320 to be going over the ocean
in the first place! (Does anyone fly trans-oceanic A320 flights?)

Why can't the French dump fuel?

Because they are only allowed to dump carburant.

You are using a smart newsreader that trims the
other person's signature.

In the case, the OP is you, but your newsreader
doesn't know that.

If you want to include someone's signature in a
reply, you can mark it and copy it before you
press the reply button, then paste it into
the new message.
