Question Height Restrictions

Many airlines seem to have height restrictions of 163 - 183 cms

I understand the importance of these, particularly the minimums - you have to be able to reach the o/h lockers.

I am 184.5cms does this mean I have no hope at all of getting into QF? Will my dreams of one day being based in Sydney as a Longhaul F/A (of course, ONLY AFTER I have done my dues waiting and then with MAM or JQ for 10 years or so)....... be denied boarding?

I know NZ accepts up to 185cm, and EK doesn't say anything on there website. Any other suggestions?

I have flown more than the average person, (that isn't a F/A of course) on just about every aircraft type, even those weird Tupolov ones that always seem to fall out of the Russian skies. The only time I have ever risked bumping my head on anything was in the Crew Bunk of an SQ 744, where I think even the petite SQ F/As had to bend over.
