my height is of 158 cm, i dont know if that would be a very complicated problem to enter to an airline
I'm around 159cm if I wear my thick socks, and I fly the Q400 - no problem at all. In fact it's an advantage being short as you're less likely to scalp yourself getting in and out of the seat. You'll find that most if not all modern airliners are designed for pilots of all shapes and sizes, and seats and pedals are fully adjustable to suit.

I was never even asked my height during recruitment or training - if you can fit in the aircraft and fly it, that's good enough for most people.
