In 1977, Captain L. C. Parker realized his dream of becoming an airline pilot. Like so many of his colleagues at Piedmont, Craig developed a passion for flying at an early age. He pursued his dream through hard work and dedication. After being hired by Piedmont, he excelled in his ability as a pilot and leader. Soon after becoming a Captain for the airlines Craig was asked to become a check airman and was entrusted with the training and ensuring safety on the line. While actively flying the line and maintaining the hectic schedule of line flying, Craig also pursued a law degree, which he also completed, and became a licensed, practicing attorney. Craig is the proud father of two children, Leah and Collin. His wife Tonya, is a Flight Attendant for Delta Airlines. I consider it an honor to call Craig a colleague and friend.
