Why doesn't bloodrager get Fly as a class skill?

I was looking over the iconic bloodrager and the bloodlines in ACG and was surprised that they don't get Fly as a class skill.

They have the fly spell on their spell list. Multiple bloodlines give flight as an ability (Celestial, draconic, elemental air, infernal), and the sorcerer parent class has it as a class skill. The omission seems strange, especially considering they are more likely to have an ACP than a sorcerer.

Can anyone give insight as to why it isn't a class skill for the bloodrager?

Thanks!

Sorcerer: Yes. Barbarian: No.

Could be that most would wear medium armor.

It isn't a class skill by default because they can't fly until 10th level.

But I was under the impression that any creature with regular access to flight, such as a class feature they can use every single day, adds Fly to their list of class skills.

After all, monsters with a fly speed automatically add Fly to their list of class skills regardless of the typical list for their creature type.

They automatically get +8 to fly if they have a fly speed. I don't know of anything that automatically makes it a class skill for characters.

If there is, I would be interested in seeing it.

The funny thing is that all classes that either have the Fly spell, or an ability that grants supernatural flying has Fly as a class skill. Why the Bloodrager does not is likely an oversight? Or, perhaps like the oracle, if your bloodline grants you a flying ability then you should gain Fly as a class skill.
