I've flown CDG-JFK on an AF 747 that was 100% full in off-peak time... (it was a whole lot of shuttle bus trips out to the tarmac to fill the plane, too )

And that route has been around for a while, so I imagine it's making AF a profit.

Although the economics go to the 777, the payload of a 747 on the ATL-CDG & JFK-CDG routes do exist.
