Longest time between flights on the same airline

[transitfan]

My top 3:

3. TWA

8/17/77 ORD-LAX L-1011 <--> 6/27/87 CLE-STL DC-9/ STL-CMI DC-9
(the last flight was ex-Ozark DC-9-31 (probably ex-OZ crew, as the merger had taken place less than a year before)

Time between flights: 9 years, 10 months, 10 days

2. Southwest

3/9/96 OAK-LAX 733 <--> 6/10/06 FLL-MDW 737-7H4

Time between flights: 10 years, 3 months, 1 day.

And #1....


American

8/??/79 JFK-DFW-LAX DC-10 <--> 7/28/95 LAX-ORD MD-82

Time between flights: 15 years, 11 months (approx.)

13 years. I still have memory of the 744 flight in 93 despite the fact I was only 3 years old, possibly 4.
