Qantas staff skipping the line at the New UberX Rank at Sydney International

Anyone can prebook an Uber from an airport using Uber Reserve. They even track your flight.

And as stated upthread anyone can still order an specific Uber type on demand (or an uber reserve) for pick up from either stand B or the general ride share area.

Uber are not limited to solely using the new pick-up areas, these are just an extra facility for those who want to avail themselves of an already waiting UberX via QR code or where stand B spots are available.

The general ride share area can still be selected form within the app.

^ So Qatar also has a tie-up with Uber?

I realize you are trying to be funny but a QR Code (Quick response Code) is very different to Qatar the airline, who may or may not have an Uber tie up I wouldn't know as would never fly Qatar.

Just to confirm, it is QF uniformed staff, I noticed the cabin crew from my flight, jumping the queue of people who allready have their PIN numbers and are waiting for the “next” car to arrive. Uber XL, comfort etc go from a different area, so they hadn’t booked those rides. As the uber staff kept allowing them in front of everybody else waiting for the “next” car it really backed up the line. There were quite a few people in the line getting annoyed at both the QF and Uber staff for allowing this. Other crew from other airlines were in the line, just QF doing the queue jumping. They were really causing issues for everybody else trying to do the right thing and caused easily 15 -20 minutes of extra waiting due to the number of staff doing it.
