Then someone should make a new one and the union should approve it. If this guy moved on and wants to keep it to himself for whatever reason than someone should submit it to the MEC

Go for it. I just explained the method how to do it.
So far, no takers for the job.
An average programmer could probably do it in a few days. It's not a complicated job, it's just parsing data. My programming background is in embedded engineering so I can't help. Doing this in assembler would take years. You need someone fluent in perl or similar. Couple of regexps to parse the flow plans, and in perl it would be a bunch of foreach loops to process the resignations.
I'm sure they would appreciate a volunteer with the appropriate skills to do it.

The famous "someone".

Prolly someone on Java for Excel since Perl is more UNIX based but it sounds like you know what you’re doing? I sure as hell don’t when it comes to this list.
My point is, is that we should have a dedicated paid union representative to have an interactive list that is not only on excel but can be interactive on the web, kind of like the new contract wiki we have. You just plug in your ID like usual and the graphs and data populate through Safari or Excel if you want to remain old school.
No one is going to do that for free.

Cliff notes: It would have to be pulled and compiled from multiple sources by a single person then sorted and arranged with programming. Also assuming it would have to be approved by Alpa prior to dissemination in order to be considered “real” and not fake news. Hell, this feels like UAW vs GM/Ford pre 1990.

The sources are the flow plan, and access to deep DECS. You could do it without deep DECS if you'd get a list of people who retired/resigned/deceased. I think the chair of the Membership Committee would be a good place to ask if such list exists. He is a good dude. Call him and see what he says.
I don't think anyone would really miss the "Should I go" features. Just a list that's accurate and gets updated would make most people very happy. If you can create one and show your work, I can guarantee the union would help you support it.
The only official list is Appendix A of the CBA. It gets updated twice a year.

The list that gets published is "fake news".
