If you dash once and still hold that button, SAO characters will immediately fly. If you lock on with the mob on the air and try to run on ground, they will deploy their wings (and enter hover mode).
Actually, if you're on pvp with flight and accel move disabled, only AW characters can stay on altitude limit and hit merrily without hitting the ground whatsoever (so if everyone else is a melee SAO character with no offensive spells....have fun); as long as they have stamina they can jump (SAO characters only get to jump twice no matter the stamina bar). The in-game database told you how to stay airborne as an AW character. Controlling altitude is not easy (a pain to learn) :v
It is because most mobs aren't in the altitude level, actually, that going there is favored if you're in a pinch (for example, super jumping and casting support spells/buffs as Yuna). Mind you, some bosses have AoE or will chase you down anyway. Come end game, and most bosses are in the air. Have fun with that.
The crash issues is what I'm peeved about, really. I once got a marvelous drop in mutliplayer, and the game decided to flip the bird at me right when I was trying to leave (to save). I never got that one drop back.
EDIT:
Auto-fly (in the game's option menu anyway) only triggers the character to enter hover mode to adjust the player's altitude to the target's. It is possible to turn off (I just don't do that; actively controlling altitude while trying to read the boss is not a good idea to me).
The characters (not controlled by player) will actively attack nearby mobs, unless player changed their pattern using "Command" menu.
Which is a shame, because the AW characters are a lot more fun (and varied) to use.
Only the start of the switch. Any characters you change to after that aren't teleported to your location. Given the nature of switch and how you'll want to use multiple characters, that's a pretty big problem.
For example if you got one AW character you pretty much have to either start with them controlled, or SWITCH to them. AW characters tend to be the strongest so they would be best used as third character, but because of the aerial issue you can't.
If you regular switch you don't even get that much. You have to control the AW character or you have a high chance of losing the boss, or best case scenario losing your chains.
