I would be very curious to find out what the actual numbers are, of brand new pilots that never had a professional flying job are coming to EDV.

Back when I was in class, we had maybe a handful of pure CFI's. Maybe 3 out of 20 people in the class.. the majority of us were all previous 135 and 121 guys.
From what I heard in MSP that's how the classes have been for most of 2016. I think it will change since Air Whisky now has some kind of future. If I had to guess we'll probably still get some 135 guys if their commute is short or can be based close to home. I don't think we'll ever have a flow but I do think the lack of is why the younger guys who are starting out are electing to go to the AA WO's.
