Hey all!
For what its worth, I stand at 0.5cm below the minimum, 162.5 cm and drove all the way from the midlands to LHR for the assesment day.
I was back on the motorway within an hour! Half cm too short
!?!? OK I understand the need for height limits but for an experienced short/long haul crew member it was really embarassing. It ate away at me for months to the point where I had to pick up the phone and speak to someone about the situation. The recruiter I spoke to could not have been more understanding.
Basically as the AC are registered down under, its their rules that I was up against. So maybe the taller guys have the same problem? Youre maybe up against the same obstacle?
And also, I know of Q crew who are my height working there already!! Needless to say the guy who measured me on the day was over 6 foot himself.
