ATCO's maximum height
I heard a story about a successful candidate who never became an ATCO for his 2-m height. Was that really possible?

It was actually almost 2.1m, which would have meant extreme discomfort for him if using the standard ATC desks in the UK.

I haven't heard of any height restrictions in Oz. I know our consoles can be height adjusted.
