As far as I know a couple of CFI's at my flight school have left the business. One went into marine engineering and the other went to work for Jetblue as a Customer service agent scanning boarding passes. Another friend of mine works at a different flight school. Has 3,000+ TT and a over 500 ME and decided to quit aviation all together. He wasn't interested in working for the airlines and he actually landed a job on Wall Street while training one of his students.

So I guess that would be three pilots to add to the shortage altough I think the one guy that went to Jet Blue is taking a break for now.
