The foot rest is adjustable. Tilt it all the way up with the back of your shoes to reset it. Step on it to the desired position and tilt it up slightly to lock in the position.

Not so great for tall people IMHO and I think it is much better for those of shorter stature. Enjoy!

Though that does not stop PP passengers from using the business class lavs. Particularly with the flimsy United curtains and the FAs not enforcing the “please use the lav in your ticketed cabin” announcements.

At the risk of being pedantic, there isn't a lav in the "ticketed cabin" with PE.

At least in the case of the 787-10 and 76L, yes, though my experience is PE pax tend to go aft for lavs on the 777s as they'd otherwise have to go through J.

Don't see much of an issue if PP uses the Polaris lavs at the REAR of Polaris. The lav ratio still equals 1 for every 15 pax if the rear lavs are shared between the two cabins, and on the 76A, from the reviews I have seen, that rear lav is basically in the PP cabin

I agree with this, actually. Certainly wouldn't endorse PP passengers heading up to the nose, but those lavs at the very rear of the Polaris cabin - they're behind the entire Polaris cabin, so there wouldn't be any additional foot traffic past Polaris seats. I think that's a fair thing to do.

If I'm being honest, when seated in F, I've used the forward economy lav on the 739's many times since it's directly between cabins... Same situation as above; "technically" should remain in the seated cabin but I don't have to traverse past anyone in economy, so I don't feel bad about it.

There have been a few instances where 777 flown domestically and PP cabin sold as regular economy, but passengers would still walk through mini cabin to use the lavs by door 2L/2R.

If the cabin is sold as economy, then go back to the economy lavs. Even if sold as PP, the lav is quite a bit forward in the cabin
What I would do if I were in charge would be set up the curtain between PP and economy as UA has classified PP as a premium cabin, except on the 777-200 (I'd have the lavs on the 777-300 behind PP just for PP/Polaris)
