I operated into Man on the 10th and overheard the following conversations from numerous departing aircraft to ATC:
"AC xxxx-What is the braking action on 23R?
ATC-you will have to phone this number 0161xxx xxxxx for an answer."
Five minutes later-"AC xxxx Requesting 23L for departure."
The runway 23R was declared as wet with de-cing fluid on the atis and also as being slippery when wet.No braking actions were offered to landing aircraft.Should a braking action have been offered or was it not offered as it was unmeasurable on the slippery bits?
