The longbody stat they are always repeating is lowest cost per seat mile, not most profitable. I've also heard that the 747 had the lowest cost per seat mile before they put in the lie-flats and reduced the seat count. Not that it matters much.
Now I'm hearing that they are going to increase the seat count in the 757-200s that are going to stay awhile to something closer to 200.
