Your height (about 6'7"?) may restrict the types of aircraft you can fly, but it shouldn't prevent you flying altogether. I had a number of colleagues in the RAF of that height or thereabouts. They couldn't usually fly ejector-seat equipped aircraft, but they were normally fine in transport types. Most of them now fly for major airlines.
The problem is that many of the turboprops and small commuter jets may not fit you, and therefore you might need a somewhat more buoyant job market than exists now to give yourself a shot at getting into larger aircraft from the word go.
However, I would have thought that your best option is to contact the airlines or other employers that you might apply to and ask them! While you're at it, get your eyes checked by an Aviation Medical Examiner - they sound fine from what you've written. Lastly, have you checked whether you fit in the average piston trainer? You may not fit in some, which will affect which schools you consider.
