It's not only the airlines, training aircraft are going to be a pain.
My wife is 5'2" and couldn't fly a 172, not even with booster cushions.
She can either reach the pedals and not look outside or the other way round.
But if you can make it through training, I've seen loads of shorter people fly for the airlines.
Just spend a day at an average airport.
