You would think that, but that’s not the case

This doesn't address the point. OP said Economy makes them the most money. Sure, Business class is most profitable per ft. But it's only 25% of the plane at best.

You didn’t read the article or look at the infographic did you? Assuming a full flight, business actually brings in 3x of the total revenue that economy does since it has a much higher $/sq-ft. Even with less people , its total is more.

You are quite right. The link just took me to the FAQ, I didn't see the entire infographic above it. Very interesting and you are right, Business Class is less than 15% of passenger numbers but they account for 70% of profits.

Sorry, I must have confused you by using fully formed sentences, some of which included numbers.
