you have not considered the fact that they don't sell every seat at the really cheap discount rates. Airlines typically sell a mix of fares for a flight, with the number of cheap seats being limited. So the revenue is the total mix of fares sold for the flight.

And they are probably doing ok by filling the belly of that 767 with a considerable amount of freight, at least on the south-bound sector.

This is where most airlines make their profit. Often the phe pax only get them to a little above break even.
