Not that I know of, if they did my head wouldn't hurt everytime I smack my head on the ceiling in the crj, because I would have a different job

Nope, unless you have an incurable case of short man syndrome. Just be able to fog a mirror and have a pulse. A full set of teeth is good, too, but not necessarily disqualifying.

One pilot I flew with years back had a limitation for seat cushion or something like that on her type rating for a particular airplane.

Straighten the back and slide it all the way back it's just courtesy

Unbelievable to me that everyone hasn't figured this out. How do you get out of the damn seat anyway if you don't straighten the back and slide it all the way back? I don't get it but 50% of the time the seat isn't all the way back.

There should be an etiquette class in new-hire training or something. Personally I would have learned a lot, the easy way

Height requirements are generally based on ejection seat limitations, which we don't really have in the airline world.

It comes down to can you function in the cockpit you're training on. I think you would have to be way off the chart tall to not be able to fit into an airliner and make it work...like Guinness World Records tall.

I've known one no-kidding midget at the regionals, IIRC he did carry a booster around.

So odds are you can make it work either way.
