3. Alaska Airlines has a major problem enforcing the First Class lavatory policy that is clearly outlined and detailed in this forum. Alaska Airlines is clearly causing a major security problem by not enforcing the policy where passengers are to use the lavatories in the cabin that they are traveling in.

I don't think your first 2 points are indicative of fault by AS at all. It's cheaper and less of a headache to pay to make the couple go away.
Also F class policy really doesn't mean anything here. Why wasn't she able to get up and wait at row 6?
Also, how can the FA slam the F bathroom door? It folds inwards.
And again, what the flight crew says goes -- you give up your rights to control any situation when you walk on board. There's no arguing.
