I could fill a B744 with $1 tickets and go broke.

You need both a strong market and a reasonable yield per seat to make money.

Yield and butts on seats is the key to profitability!
I did not think I had to clarify that seats are not sold for a dollar. Bottom line is that with a reasonable market the 744 is more profitable than a twin, assuming cattle car config and both aircraft full.
