flight attendant's hight , please

im asking about the height requirements in saudi airlines
in the last Ad they required the applicant to be in the range of 160-176 cm tall
i just find it abit frustrating cause lets face it you can control your weight , you can control ur language and how fluent you are but really you can't control how tall you are
and i heard that Most flight attendants are between 5'2" and 5'9" tall
i know that the overhead compartments in an airplane, which are typically between 6' and 6'10" inches high
so why not just make a reach test instead of the height requirements
cause any attendant will be wearing high heels anyway
im 5'1 btw :(
so yh i have the look , the language with british accent , the personality but not the height :(
so my question is if i sent my cv , will i just get rejected just cause of the height? or they will give
me a chance? please i want an honest response

btw im an engineer and i keep turning down every chance i get for a job in my field cause my dream is to be a FA :(

hello lilly,
i believe yea if u sent them ur C.V ofcourse u will get a chance actually u have the chance already when u knew about them and their contact details, so send them ur C.V, and wait for the result, but i advise u not to mention ur height in ur C.V, i think u might have a better chance to convience them face to face in an interview, since u mentioned that u have things that could qualify u to stand against other candidates.
good luck!
Eslam.

yayyyy thank you ^^ u really made my day <3
best of luck to you =)
take care
