As of now even if you go farm for one of those mounts or earn the Violet Proto they'll only be at your highest learned riding speed, so no freebie 310.
Ahh shucks... I guess my DK is flying high and fast then.. Thanks for the update then, I guess i'll just go buy it if my master plan at saving 4000g is going to fail
Where does one purchase the flying speed? Just the guy in Hellfire work?

Any riding trainer will teach you. Like I said, go to one you're exalted with. The one in Dalaran is Kirin Tor, each home city has one, and the one in Hellfire Peninsula is Honor Hold.

It doesn't have to be a flying trainer, but it seems I was misinformed. I just double checked wowhead and the Exodar and Gnomeregan riding trainers will only teach you the lowest levels (no flying), but
the stormwind one will teach you all of them including the Flightmaster's License. I'm lazy or I'd check the rest.

Thats for flying in Azeroth too... Do you know how much that one is going to cost? I'm excited about dropping 4k gold right now to go super super fast later tonight

Wowhead says 250g, trainable at level 60.
I think she's a Wildhammer.

Technically, if you're paying 4k for 310% speed, then you'd also be spending 4k on 280%.

I posted this on another thread, but as of a soon hotfix those with Violet drakes even
after 4.0.1 will still get the 310% for free. This is a permanent change. So don't go off and buy if your close to your meta What a Long Strange Trip It's Been! I'm glad I decided to not jump the gun on buying the flying, blizz is always changing their policy.
here's the blue

I had no problems with the 310% flying but then again I had it just before the new patch. The only thing that changed was that all of my flying my mounts fly at the same speed now.(310%)

Correct me if I'm wrong (I really hope you're right) but isn't Epic flying a prerequisite to the 310% flying?

Yes. Her point was that if you're buying the 310% from a flight master whose faction you're exalted with (so that you're paying 4000g instead of 5000g) then you'd probably be buying 280% with the same discount, making the total 8000g instead of 9000g.
It's still a mouthful.

TY Sara! And yes, that's exactly what I meant. 8k total vs. 9k total is a big deal.

Ahhh. Ok. Reading it now, well, It doesn't make any more sense than last night without your explanations, but I see what you guys mean, and If I were to ever get on the interwebz at a decent daylight hour, I'm sure I would have understood.
