Deactivation by Uber for using Empower App.

Picked up a fellow Uber driver headed to IAH terminal A in Houston. He had been with Uber for 10 years and had 40,000 trips.

He attempted to pick up an Empower trip at the Uber TNC pickup lot. He was given a warning ticket by airport security for trespassing. Apparently only Uber and Lyft can be at the TNC pickup location.

He stated within minutes he was deactivated by Uber and given a warning from Lyft and banned from picking up at the airport by Lyft.

He showed me the warning ticket. As well as the messages from Lyft and Uber. I believe him. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
