If I'm not mistaken, I believe they just circle the airport consuming fuel as I don't think they have fuel dump systems on modern airliners, besides, I would think you would want all the time you could to get the landing gear working again, if at all possible. Also, I dont think that environmentalists wouldn't be kosher with a fuel dump.
