Thanks for the feedback on the routing. Might change that to something like TLV or IST then. Would be nice to have a routing on something with NCW rather than CE, but at the end of the day it is not a show stopper.
Still hope that people can help with the other questions. Also aware that I have only used 19 sectors so I effectively have 1 up the sleve to use somewhere else to perhaps gain additional mileage & status.
