I guess we didn't work for the same airline based on the differences in the carts.
I know what you mean about the V shape of the shelves, the carts I used had the same shape shelves but did not have drain holes and as far as I know, (from friends who are still employees), still don't. I'll tell them to get with the GSE department and suggest it. I can definitely see the benefit of the drain holes. What oh my wrote could also definitely be a factor.

It'd be nice if they could keep the bags in the bins til the [transfer] drivers showed up to help offload, but most times they "dump" the flight and start loading for the outbound.

Been there, done it. It's misfortuneate that bags have to sit out in the rain, but on days like that, "stuff"
happens.
