At the current way that flyers following you is unaceptable, in my oppinion... if you are not flying yourself they constantly get in the way. So my suggestion is to add a second follow mode for flyers, being a high in the air follow. So 1st following mode would just be the same old following, which can be used for combat, and second is a following mode that you would switch just the same way you switch agression, and would make the flyers follow you high in the air above you, so they don't get in the way of whatever you're doing.
Edit:
Now that i think about it, this could be very over powered unless limited, so maybe if you can only have one flyer follow you with the "Recon Follow"
