How do I force setup assistant to use Thunderbolt?

It says "About 4 hours and 13 minutes remaining" which makes me think it is ignoring the connected thunderbolt cable and using wifi. MBA 2011 to MBA 2012.

Basically connect the thunderbolt cable to both Mac, reboot the source Mac while holding down T, and when the destination Mac asks which source, select "Time Machine or other disk."

Says it will take 6 minutes.
