At the end of the day, the game simply offers no solution for leveling an alt beyond some expensive skips that aren't even useful for Endwalker at this time, and it bothered me so I decided to make a funny thread.
Don't need to be able to fly to run dungeons and raids with your friends since you can queue for those from anywhere once unlocked. If you're trying to unlock something like Sky Pirates where flying to get to the teleport for the quests is mandatory, a friend can fly you. It's a rare player that doesn't have a passenger mount, especially with the FFXV event happening right now.

Might as well skip flying altogether if it's going to be almost useless for how you intend to play the character.

I'm also wondering why you can't use your main to do the content with your friends. You'd already have flying and the content unlocked. Being on a different data center is not a hindrance as long as you're in the same region. I take this character to Dynamis when others in my Marilith FC want to do content I haven't unlocked (and don't want to unlock) on my characters there.

I wouldn't call you an idiot. Other MMORPGs have ingrained the need to have alts in many of us who have played them. It can be rough to break habit. I just don't see any need to give new characters automatic credit for things other characters on the account have already done, especially when those things aren't especially time consuming and/or flow naturally with other content the new character is going to need to do regardless.
