What I find myself doing is looking for elevated terrain that I just run off of with my leader and all the following toons will go into flight mode. Sometimes this is just a small hill, and sometimes its the edge of the world. Anything that drops off sharply where your character would normally fall for even a few feet will work to put your characters into flight mode.

If everything around is flat, then I have to individually get each toon flying a few feet off the ground before getting them all to follow in flight mode.

Not too big a deal with just my 3 characters, could get real annoying with 10 if you are taking off and landing a lot. Depends on what you are doing with your characters.
I was just planning on hitting spacebar a ton to take flight then /following.

From what I hear, that will work perfectly as it automatically makes you fly up the Z axis and stops you from going back to the ground as you sorta well just hover.
