Something to Note: Due to aircraft cabin designs and other
Example considerations, British Airways and many other carriers
have a cabin crew height requirement between 5 ft 2 in.
and 6 ft 1 in. For aesthetic reasons, Rockette dancers at
New York Citys Radio City Music Hall must be between
66.5 in and 71.5 in. tall. For practical reasons , the U.S.
Army requires that women must be between 58 in. and 80
in. tall (Triola, 2014, p. 243).
