So you have a lot of travelers from all over the world, and the holding tank gets it from all of the passengers. Yes, it is one thing to drain the holding tank but then to flush the tank. Is it done? This would, in theory, reduce the contamination from previous tanks. As for the person on the ground that does the draining, they need to be properly geared up and trained in just what they are dealing with. All of this takes time and money the question is are the airlines willing and able to make that happen.
