A hover-mount that could only fly a small distance above the ground would work, sure, but a truly flying mount with free reign of the Z-axis (up and down motion) which bypassed all the tricks SE put in to reduce stress on computers (tunnels that funnel you between "sub zones", tunnels that funnel you from Uldah to Thanalan, etc) would not be feasible.

Only way it could work is if when you got on a flying mount it took you to a separate instance (like the World Maps in pre FFX games, or the instanced boat rides). Flying mounts could not work with the current zone partitions and layouts.
