Can we please have flight unlocked as part of the main story?

Considering how fast you get from A to B on the maps while flying, I'm glad they didn't allow you to do so right away. Sure, finding aether currents is annoying for those who just wanna rush through everything but for someone like me who loves to explore and see what the areas have to offer, doing it this way it much more enjoyable. Find what I can first, then once I can fly it's time to go through the area again from higher up and see what I might've missed.

Yeah, I agree they shouldn't give flight right away. It's just that after you've ran through the main story you've already gone through all of the zones so there shouldn't be a reason to have to go back and do a lot of backlogged content just to get flight. Some people do skip those quests because they find them boring and don't want to do them. They shouldn't feel like it's a forced part of the game to have to complete content they don't wish to do just to get an ability Square Enix is advertising as part of the expansion. Not to mention they give a griffon mount with the collectors edition.

Some people must be reading the title and thinking this is some kind of spur of emotion posting. There's some issues with how they are doing things that needs to get fixed.

Yeah, no. You're just a whiner that wants everything handed to them... It's already been answered in the live letter, if you want to fly you have to explore the zone first. They're not going to change it just because you're too lazy...

Uh, no. Read above posting. If someone doesn't want to do content because they don't find it engaging, then that isn't laziness. That is the person choosing to do things they do find engaging. It's just that in this case x activity is required to unlock a key part of what has been advertised as part of the expansion pack.
