Airline Pilots Jettisoned 15,000 Pounds of Fuel Over Populated Areas Five years after one of its Boeing 777s dumped 15,000 pounds of jet fuel onto neighborhoods, Delta Air Lines has agreed to pay $78.75 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. The proposed settlement still requires a judge’s approval, but could distribute compensation to residents of nearly 38,000 properties. After legal fees, the payout may total about $50.6 million.
