Minimum height to be an RJ pilot?
Well I'm a 5'5 18 year old (yes manlet) and was just wondering if there is a minimum height to become a regional jet pilot. I was once given a tour of WN's ops here in PHX and was happy to see that I was tall enough to see over the flight panel. Will this also be the same for ERJ/CRJ?

I'm only an inch taller than you. The seats in the ERJ are very adjustable. You just gotta watch it when you're doing the stall test 
Airline manufacturers realize that we aren't all 6 feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Planes also have some sort of sight alignment gadget that allows you to have same view every time since the guy that was in the seat before you likely wasn't the same height.
