Question for flight-deck crews. I thought I read somewhere (don't remember where though) that not all commercial airliners have the ability to dump fuel when in the air. Are there any aircraft types flying today that may not be able to dump fuel in an emergency, and instead would have to try to burn off the fuel, if possible, to avoid an overweight landing?

I'm not flight crew, but I believe that the A320 family lacks the ability to dump, as I remember the incident with the landing gear on a Jet Blue A320 going from BUR to JFK, that had to fly in a pattern over LA for three hours as it could not dump.
