Height restrictions - how flexible?

[witchdoctor]

Investigating the possibilities of employment as cabin crew and keep finding upper height limits of 6ft/1m80 or so for most airlines, even on the larger jets.

How flexible is this limit? Will any airline waive the requirements for a good candidate? Who will recruit up to 6'3"/1m93?

Cheers.:)

I don't know, but here is not the case of being "flexible" for a couple of cms, actually on the mayority of A/C you'd need to be very flexible yourself with that height mate.
Airlines might fear you'll be the first candidate to get DVT on their next flight ;)

Emirates have no limit now

Not sure about being too tall but i know alot of airlines (especially QF) are very strict about being too short. I was 1 or 2 cms off.
Emirates and a few other who dont specify a height requirement might be the way to aim.
