Here's a question...
I'm outside Penn Station yesterday and I'm in the cab line. I'm late for a hearing and the line is taking forever. I bolt up to the corner before the cab line - just outside where the people in line can still see me - and I hail one of the cabs which would have otherwise gone to someone standing in line. Then I ride past everyone still in line.
I felt guilty at the moment, but then I thought "Wait a minute... I took the initiative to run up to the corner rather than stand in line waiting, so my actions were ethically kosher." What would be your ruling?

My ruling -- uncool, dude.
I'm surprised the people waiting in line didn't lynch you. (That's what happens to those who try to pull that stunt at the corner of 45th and Vandy (outside Grand Central) -- it's an "unofficial" cab stand, because cabs can't go into what used to be the cab pick-up area due to the placement of the impenetrable fortress of anti-terrorism barriers that have been set up there.)
Edited to fix another GHASTLY spelling error. What is WRONG with me?!?! (Rhetorical question, folks. I don't have all day...)
