height 1.92m 6 foot 3.5 ins- too tall to fly?

Hi,

If you are 1.92m or just 6 foot 3.5 ins can you be an airline pilot?? L3 states on their webpage-

*** Applicants should be between 1.58 m (5ft. 2 in.) to 1.91 m (6ft. 3 in.) in height. Applicants who fall outside of this may still apply; however, they will be required to undergo an ergonomic assessment in our training aircraft and jet flight simulators prior to being accepted into a course. Some airlines may impose strict height limits in accordance with the range shown, which could preclude applicants from placement with that airline post-CPL/IR if they fall outside this height range.
but other UK major pilot schools don't have a height restriction on their webpage as far as I can see. Any comments from experienced pilots about training if I am this height?
