There are a couple parts to this rule.
1) A character cannot join Monsters, units with the Fly rule, a unit of Chariots, a unit of Swarms, or a Warmachine.
2) A character that is a Monster, has a Monster for a mount, or a Chariot for a mount, cannot join any units at all.
3) You will notice that characters who themselves have the Fly rule are not prevented from joining other units, they can join other units as long as they're not themselves Flyers, Chariots, Swarms, Monsters, or Warmachines. Fly only prevents you from being joined, not from joining another unit.
These are the basic rules for characters joining units.
Some characters have special rules overriding this rule. Tomb Kings have "And the Tomb Kings rode to war..." which lets them join units of Chariots if they themselves are on a Chariot.
There is not a general rule which says a character on a Chariot or riding a Flyer can join units that are chariots or flyers. Only a specific special rule would let you do that.
