Jet Blue doesn't serve LAX.

Jet Blue claimed they have a major maint. hanger at LAX. More likey it
is a contract maint shop that does their major maint.

There was no emergency in the sense that the plane had to land immediately

They flew in circles for 3 hours. You certainly can't believe they
thought they had a chance to get it down for that entire time. The news
reports was that they were burning off fuel. That seems more logical
than simply taking 3 hours to decide the gear wasn't going to fix
itself. This also sounds like an EXCELLENT argument for the ability to
dump fuel.
