Dear LMNJ
100 years ago, I went to a Flight School in order to start my Flight Attendant training course.
I could picture myself wearing a wonderful uniform, perfect make up and walking nosing up with my carrying on.
The first question I was asked was: How tall are you please?
And in a blink of eyes my career as a Flight Attendant was born death.
I cried for a week or so, eating chocolate in front at the TV….and I sow a helicopter in a TV show.
I called back the school and ask...How tall must I be to be a Helicopter Pilot?
She answered….there is no height restriction for that, but…I don’t know any female helicopter pilot.
My answer was….ok, you are talking to the first one though!
That was the best restriction I have ever had.
Nowadays I hold 5 international ATPL(H) licenses.
Sometimes, life gives you a painful NO because you have to look to another way.
So LMNJ, if stretches your arms do not works for you, just try to stretches you point of view!
Feel free to PM me, even in Portuguese if you like.
Best of luck!!
