Am i missing anything please? ty FTers
Basically those are the 3 options. With a 0.1% probability you might be able to get a rogue agent to convert to an NC7 but the odds are so low these days that unless I were desperate I wouldn't even try it - you will hurt yourself banging your head against the wall with all the HUCAs you make without success.

If you want option 1 ask for a QP91.
Option 2 you might have to HUCA a couple of times to get. Possibly higher odds with the UK call center. Explain it is known exception to the chart to convert an OC8 to an NC6 and ask for a supervisor if you get pushback from the agent.
Option 3 should still be available for an OC (probably not NC) but you might have to HUCA a few times.
