Doesn't that happen already? There are 10 CFIs and 100 students, those 100 students can't all eventually become CFIs, they'd need 1000 students the next time around. The other 90 students that can't work as CFIs (but may still get their CFI) have to go work "somewhere else". That used to mean pipeline patrol, cargo/freight, banner towing, parachute jumpers, etc, but there aren't as many of those jobs anymore and most can't sustain on that money.
