Heard had to dump fuel and return to yyz, anyone know what happened?

Well unless WJA started flying something bigger than a 737 your source is on the same stuff Rob Ford is doing. The 737 is not equipped to dump fuel.

Came through word of mouth, no some one who was on the flight (non aviation related) who said they had to dump fuel

Should probably delete the thread rather than scare the crap out of everybody?

Well, since a 737 CANT DUMP FUEL, it's not even an incident, now is it?? It's a crock.
It should be posted under "Crocks and Rumours".

i'd say it fell under the "overdue aircraft" category....

Flight aware shows it going over florida, then turning back and going into a hold, then returning to YYZ.

WJA 2506

Did you mean over Virginia, rather than Florida?

Little bit defensive there... seems like an aircraft diverting all the way back to YYZ from the southern US is a reasonable inquiry and topic for a thread in this category. Since you appear to have some stake maybe you could enlighten us on the reason?

Maybe they flew all the way to VA and back because it couldn't dump fuel? 737 and all that, you know.

Did I miss something? Was there an engine failure or other mechanical reason the plane shouldn't turn around...maybe it was as simple as a snag that would have grounded ac at destination and opps would rather have the tail home, or maybe if they absolutely needed to burn gas anyway why not return to yyz if it was safe to do so.

A whole pile of unhappy passengers.

It sure is curious tho that the 737 is stuck to its -200 grandfathered roots without fuel dumping. I guess the A320 doesn't have it either though.

They heard Justin Bieber was onboard, they were told to return.

It was a RH Bleed Light that came on and the reason they turned back was due to no Maintenance in The Dominican so good call by the flight crew

Dont thank him, the "RH Bleed light" belongs in the same catagory as fuel dumping.... Fiction.

What's wrong with the OP asking in a thread? Seems the replies that are giving him a hard time for asking are a bit touchy.

Well Ok...splitting hairs......."Bleed Trip Off" requires maintenance actions to MEL if you are unable to reset it. Not to mention operating restrictions that that make it highly desirable to fix the problem for continued operations.
