Height restrictions - how flexible?

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

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.
