There is not a "world law" that says you have to be a certain weight/height to be a flyer. Cheerleading is a team sport and most gyms/colleges/high schools/rec programs are trying to maximize their difficulty and trying to use all of their team members in stunts. With that being said it is going to come down to who has the skills needed in which position and how they don't have a whole stunt group of extra people just standing there b/c they don't base/fly/back.
A good coach is also going to always try and maximize the ability of the specific cheerleader and if the coach feels this person will best maximize their talent and the success of the team flying then you fly, if you have to bring in additional girls due to overall skills and one happens to be a flyer and they may have to make a switch and ask you to do something else, it's not personal, but for some reason we all take it personal.
