All I can tell you is that on the 737-200 BA used to knock 5 off the assumed after de-icing. I think this was dropped on the 3/4/5. At the moment, in my present company, we do NOT reduce at all following de-ice.

There has always been the suggestion that the film of fluid adversly affects the surfaces.
