True. There are people doing this. AND, there are a lot of very pissed off drivers who didnt get the buyout.
Imagine @gumby not getting the buyout, and then some asshole who DID get it backs out...
It appears it went by seniority as we were told, the question will be if the next ones in line will receive the offer that was denied by the previous employee.

If that was the case I would have gotten it. They didn't go by building seniority.

I am 100% confident in UPS ability to fuck something up. If that was the case I would be pissed as well just like you are and I would definitely be finally a grievance and calling the international.

I was told that the seniority went by how vacations were picked.
If feeders in your building picked vacations separately from package drivers, then there was a separate buyout for feeders and packages, depending on how many the local business needs could let go.
Same with packages. If a building had more than one center and the centers picked vacations separately, then there would be a specific buyout number per center as to how many they can let go.
So yes, a junior employee in the same building, but another center, can get it and a senior driver in another center not get it. Or no feeder drivers get it at all.
The issue is that the original DCP agreement, the one that drivers signed up for, did not say this. The wording said needs of the business per facility by seniority, it did not say per classifications in the facility. The agreement seemed to lean toward facility seniority, which was not followed.
Note that the number of applications that will be approved is not unlimited. Applications will be
considered according to the local needs of the business. If the maximum number of applications is exceeded
for a specific facility, approvals will be granted in full-time seniority order.

That's a raw deal protecting junior union members over senior. Totally unnecessary too. The union should have insisted a top down seniority order be used.
