Profit and revenue are different animals. We also have the wrong model for the 777. The CEO of British Airways was asked what his biggest single mistake was since taking over. He stated it was not buying every 777-300 he could get his hands on. Profit also varies depending on which route you put a aircraft on. The 777 is locked into very different routes today then it flew in 2001.
