Very true what the person before me said. Also, the way the airbenders were identified was probably the arrow tattoos, which only accomplished airbenders are supposed to get. So other people from the Air Nation could have been spared, except they wouldn't have been benders and they'd probably in hiding. When the cycle returned to the Air Nation, their descendants would be eligible since they're still Air nation people. That would certainly be a surprise to their parents.
