Tristen Crockett

A native of Grenada, MS, Tristan has always been interested in aviation since a young age. From begging his dad to always go by KMEM to watch planes takeoff and land to running around the backyard with model planes, the fascination has been there since the started. During his last 4 months of his senior year of high school, Tristan took his first flight to a conference for school. It was at that moment he decided he no longer wanted to pursue medicine but a career in aviation. He enrolled in Delta State University for the Fall 2015 semester and began his flight training. Tristan graduated Delta State with a Bachelor of Commercial Aviation with his CFI, CFII, and MEI. After graduation, he taught at Delta State until he reached the required flight time to go to the airlines. Tristan’s career started with Horizon Air where he flew the Embraer 175, Atlas Air flying the Boeing 737, and most recently Breeze Airways flying the Embraer 190/195. Tristan is currently employed by Delta Air Lines flying the Boeing 737.
