This is so pathetic. On AA you wouldn't have to worry about it!
I'm really surprised that UA hasn't been sued over this. They advertise their Economy Plus as if it applies to all pax on all flights. Everyone here in the UA forum knows that is patently false. </font>
I believe your mistaken in your understanding of E+ and it's advertising.
From UAL.com:
Economy Plus is an exclusive area of six to 11 rows (depending on fleet type) in the forward portion of the United EconomySM cabin with up to 5 inches more legroom. Premier® members, Star Gold and Star Silver members and customers traveling on fares booked in Y, B or M class will be eligible to receive a pre-assigned seat in Economy Plus on a first-come, first-served basis.
