One of the first questions on a Cathay Pacific application is "are you at least 163 cm" (5'4"). Being they are a Hong Kong based company, I'm not sure what the correct answer is to that question 
. I wouldn't worry about being vertically challenged so much as horizontally challenged when trying to land a job in the US.

Melissa,
Height doesn't matter, so long as you are tall enough to reach the floor when standing up.
The truth is that the carriers (and the FAA) just want you do be able to reach everything you need to be able to do your job.
At 5'1", you'll be fine.
