The whole thing with SwissAir111 is those guys smelled smoke in the cockpit. Well where theres smoke there is a fire, a fire that isnt going to put itself out.
At that point worrying about things like dumping fuel to make decending and landing easier seems like its wasting valuable time, which is exactly what it did. Its not officially listed as pilot error but ive seen enough from documentaries and reports from other pilots that said they should have taken it down immediately.
Nope, these guys were trying to figure out what airport to go to, worried about dumping fuel and all that did was close the gap til when the fire was able to cut of critical systems. They followed a manual and not common sense.
